You either need to find the area of the triangle and subtract it from that of the rectangle OR
you find the areas of the bits of the rectangle that are outside the triangle and add them together.
Without more details of the triangle, it is not possible to give a more detailed answer.
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?
6 inches
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
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

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
Area Rectangle = 12 * 8 = 96 sq. in.Area Triangle = 1/2 base * height -> 96 = 16 * height -> 96 / 16 = height = 6 in.
a*b=(h*B)/2, a&b being the sides of the rectangle, h the height of the triangle and B the base: 8*5=(2B)/2 40=B
120 inches (by finding the hypotenuse of a right triangle).
