Question

1. Let the side length of each small square on the grid represent 1 unit. Draw two different triangles, e. Ach with base 5 1/2 units and area 19 1/4 units2. 2. Why does each of your triangles have area 1914 units2?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Each small square on a grid represents 1 unit

Base of triangle = 5 1/2 units = 11/2

Area of triangle = 19 1/4 unit² = 77/4

The Area, A of a triangle is obtained thus :

77/4 = 1/2 * 11/2 * h

77/4 = 11/4 * h

h = 77/4 ÷ 11/4

h = 77/4 * 4 /11

h = 7 units
