Question

Which equation can be used to calculate the area of the shaded triangle in the figure below?

A) 2(12 + 4) = 32
B) fraction 1 over 2 (12 + 4) = 8
C) 2(12 × 4) = 96
D) fraction 1 over 2 (12 × 4) = 24

Answer 1

The correct answer is d I hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

D) 1/2 (12x4)=24

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is D because 12 times 4 gets you the area of the whole rectangle, but then you multiply it by 1/2 to get half of the rectangle's area, which is the shaded part.
