Jordan is cutting a 2 \text{ m}2 m2, space, m by 1\dfrac14\text{ m}1 4 1 ​ m1, start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction, space, m piece of rectangular paper into two pieces along its diagonal. Find the area of each of the pieces.

Answer 1

Answer:5/4

Explanation:

Answer 2

Jordan is cutting 2 meters by
`1 (1)/(4)` m piece of rectangular paper into 2 pieces along its diagonal.What is the area of each of the pieces.

Length of rectangular paper = 2 m

width of rectangular paper =
`1 (1)/(4)` =
`(5)/(4)`

Area of rectangle = Length * width

= 2 *
`(5)/(4)`

=
`(10)/(4)`

Diagonal divides the rectangle into two pieces.

So we divide the area by 2

Area of each piece =
`((10)/(4))/(2)` =
`(5)/(4)`
