If the area of the rectangle is 36 square units, what is the area of the inscribed triangle?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The top triangle

The top triangle is 1 *9

Area = 1/2 L * w

L = 9

w = 1

Area = 1/2 1 *9 = 4.5

Bottom Triangle

L = 8

W = 4

Area = 1/2 L * W

Area = 1/2 * 8 * 4

Area = 16

Right triangle

L = 3

w = 2

Area = 1/2 * 3 * 2

Area = 3

Total area of the triangles = 3 + 16 + 4.5

Total area = 23.5

The area of the rectangle of the brown triangle = 36 - 23.5 = 12.5
