Question

WILL PICK BRAINLIEST!!
Sammy is trying to determine how many triangles she can create out of a square grid that has a side of 14 inches. Use the image below to determine the area of the triangle and how many she can cut out.


(4 points)


A -The area of the triangle is 49 in2, so she can create only 2 triangles.
B - The area of the triangle is 49 in2, so she can create only 4 triangles.
C -The area of the triangle is 98 in2, so she can create only 2 triangles.
D - The area of the triangle is 98 in2, so she can create only 4 triangles.

Answer 1

The area of the triangle is 49 in2, so she can create only 2 triangles.

Answer 2

Answer:

The area of triangle is 49 in² and She can create only 4 triangles.

B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sammy is trying to determine how many triangles she can create out of a square grid that has a side of 14 inches.

In a square grid of 14 inches one triangle already drawn.

If we see the figure.

Base of triangle is 14 inches and Height of triangle is 7 inches.

Formula:

$\text{Area of triangle }=\dfrac{1}{2}\times B\times H$

$\text{Area of the given triangle } =\dfrac{1}{2}\times 14\times 7=49\text{ in}^2$

If we extend the height to opposite side of square and join the vertex of square to the vertex of given triangle.

We will get 3 new triangle of same area because their base and height are same.

Please see the attachment for figure of four triangle.

Hence, The area of triangle is 49 in² and She can create only 4 triangles.
