Olivia is cutting a 112 m1 \dfrac12 \text{ m}121​ m1, start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction, space, m by 34 m\dfrac34\text{ m}43​ mstart fraction, 3, 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

Olivia has a rectangular paper with sides:
$a= \frac{1}{2} m \\ \\ b= \frac{3}{4} m$

She is cutting paper along the diagonal. The resulting pieces of paper will have half of the original area.

Original area:
$A=a*b= \frac{1}{2} * \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{8} m^{2}$

Area of resulting pieces:
$A_{2} = \frac{A}{2} = \frac{ \frac{3}{8} }{2} = \frac{3}{16} m^{2} \\ \\ A_{2} =0.1875 m^{2}$
