A rectangular stained glass window is made up of identical triangular parts as pictured below. 24 triangles are connected to have a height of 36 inches and a width of 48 inches. every 2 triangles combine to form a rectangle. what is the area of the shaded triangular section? 18 square inches 36 square inches 72 square inches 144 square inches

Answer 1

The area of the shaded triangular section of the stained glass window is  72 square inches.

What is the area of the shaded triangular section?

The first step is to determine the dimensions of each rectangle that makes up the  stained glass window.

Length of one rectangle = length of the window / number of rectangles along the length

36/4 = 9 inches

Width of one rectangle = width of the window / number of rectangles along the width

48/3 = 16 inches

Area of the shaded triangular section = 1/2 x area of one rectangle

1/2 ( length x width)

1/2 x (16 x 9) = 72 square inches.
