A rectangle and a triangle have equal areas. The length of the rectangle is 12 inches, and its width is 8 inches. If the base of the triangle is 32 inches, what is the length, in inches, of the altitude drawn to the base?
a rectangle as a longer side because there's 48 inches for a rectangle but there's only 45 inches for a triangle. a rectangle as a longer side because there's 48 inches for a rectangle but there's only 45 inches for a triangle.
The formula for the area (R) of a rectangle is R = length x width = 12 x 8 = 96 sq in.The formula for the area (T) of a triangle is T = 1/2 base x altitude (a)(or vertical height) Then 96 = 1/2 x 32 x a : 96 = 16a : therefore a = 6 inches.Answer : The altitude of the triangle = 6 inches
The area of a rectangle is 56.25 square inches. The length of the rectangle is12.5 inches what is the width
Area of the rectangle = (Length x Width) = (12 x 8) = 96Area of the triangle = 1/2 (Base x Altitude) = 1/2 (32 x Alt) = also 96 1/2 (32 x Alt) = 96 32 x Alt = 192 Alt = 192/32 = 6 inches

To find the diagonal length of a rectangle use Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
The rectangle has an area of 12 x 8 = 96 square inches. The triangle has an area of (1/2 * 32 * x). So, 16x = 96, therefore x = 6. The height of the triangle is 6 inches.
Area of rectangle = l x w: 12 x 8 = 96 sq in Area of triangle is bh/2: 96 = 32(h)/2 192 = 32(h) 6 = h The heigth of the triangle is 6 inches
