Question

Britney needs to a loge made using two right triangles the dimensions of the logo what is the difference between the area of the large triangle and the area of the small triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference is 16.5cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Large triangle

$Base = 5cm$

$Height = 9cm$

Small triangle

$Base = 2cm$

$Height = 6cm$

See attachment for logo

Required

The difference in their areas

Area is calculated as:

$Area = 0.5 * Base * Height$

For the large triangle

$Area = 0.5 * 5cm * 9cm$

$Area = 22.5cm^2$

For the small triangle

$Area = 0.5 * 2cm * 6cm$

$Area = 6cm^2$

The difference (d) is calculated as:

$d = 22.5cm^2 - 6cm^2$

$d = 16.5cm^2$
