Question

Which itas a

greater area, a triangle with a base of
100 feet and a height of 100 feet or a circle
with diameter of 100 feet?

Answer 1

Circle. See below.

Explanation:

Triangle

• Area = 1/2 b * h
• b = 100
• h = 100
• Area = 1/2 * 100 * 100
• Area = 5000

Circle

• Area = pi * (d/2)^2
• Area = 3.14 * (100/2)^2
• Area = 3.14 * 50^2
• Area = 3.14 * 2500
• Area = 7850

The circle has the larger area.
