How is the area of a triangle related to the area of a rectangle?
Cut the rectangle diagonally.
300
Area = 32 m2
Base = 8 m
Height = 8 m
400
L = 41 mm
W = 59 mm
P = 200 mm
400
P = 84 in
s = 21 in
400
A = 126 mm2
W = 14 mm
L = 9 mm
400
Area = 196 cm2
Base = 14 cm
Height = 28 cm
500
P = 296 km
L = 111 km
W = 37 km
500
P = 156 dm
s = 39 dm
500
L = 6 cm
W = 5 cm
If I double the sides, what's the ratio of the new area to the old area?
4:1
500
The base of the triangle is 6 km.
The height of the triangle is also 5 km.
If I triple the base and double the height, what is the ratio of the area of the new triangle to the area of the old triangle?
