Question

If the area of parallelogram ABCD is 27 square feet, what is the area of triangle ABC?

a. 27 ft2
b. 54 ft2
c. 13.5 ft2
d. 13 ft

Answer 1

13.5ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles that make the parallelogram are congruent, their areas are equal. So, the area of each triangle is 1/2 (half) the area of the parallelogram.

27/2 = 13.5

Answer 2

Answer:
13.5 ft².

Step-by-step explanation:
A parallelogram is bisected by its diagonal so the area is also bisected.
A bisected figure is exactly half of the measurement of the original figure.

Half of 27 square feet is 13.5 square feet.The formula for finding area of a triangle is:
A =
`(1)/(2)`bh (formula for area of a parallelogram. A=bh).
