How do you work out to find the area of the quadrilateral formed by the square and triangle?

First find the area of the square (length x width) then find the area of the triangle (base x height x 2) and add the two answers together.
Quadrilateral just means "four sides", but the sides have to be straight.
Assuming it's a right-angle triangle? Such a triangle is half of a rectangle or square, so times by 2).

An equilateral triangle and a square have equal perimeters what is the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the square?
If an equilateral triangle and a square have equal perimeters, then the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the square is 1:3.
What is the area of the triangle formed by the 2x 3y6 and the coordinate axes?
If you mean: 2x+3y = 6 then the coordinates are (3, 0) and (0, 2) giving the triangle an area of 3 square units
What determines the area of a quadrilateral within a square?
The only thing that can be said is that the quadrilateral will have an area that is smaller than the square. The exact value depends on the location of the vertices.
Why do you need to multiply the area of a triangle by a half?
Because - if you draw lines at right-angles from the base of a triangle vertically until they reach the highest point, then draw a horizontal line that connects those points, touching the highest point of the triangle - the area outside the triangle (but inside the resulting quadrilateral) is exactly half the area of the quadrilateral.
What is the area of a triangle with vertices at -3 7 and 2 19 and 10 7?
By plotting the given vertices and then joining them together on the Cartesian plane the shape of a isosceles triangle will be formed with an area of 78 square units.
What is a triangle with an area of 12 square units?
It's half the size of a quadrilateral with 24 square units ------------ One type of triangle with an area of 12 square units is the isosceles triangle with two 5-unit sides and one 6-unit side.
An equilateral triangle and a square have equal perimeters what is the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the square?
If an equilateral triangle and a square have equal perimeters, then the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the square is 1:3.
Why do we need to divide the area of a triangle by 2?
Because in effect a triangle is half of a 4 sided quadrilateral

What is the area of the triangle formed by the 2x 3y6 and the coordinate axes?
If you mean: 2x+3y = 6 then the coordinates are (3, 0) and (0, 2) giving the triangle an area of 3 square units
If a square and a triangle have an area of sixty four square centimeters if the length of the triangle is the same as the length of a side of the square what is the height of the triangle?
You do not indicate if the given area is the total area of the square and the triangle. Or whether they are equal values.
Why the area of a triangle is half the product of its base and its height?
Because a triangle is the half shape of a 4 sided quadrilateral
Why do you need to multiply the area of a triangle by a half?
Because - if you draw lines at right-angles from the base of a triangle vertically until they reach the highest point, then draw a horizontal line that connects those points, touching the highest point of the triangle - the area outside the triangle (but inside the resulting quadrilateral) is exactly half the area of the quadrilateral.
What is the area of a qudrilateral that has consecutive sides of 3cm 4cm 7.4cm and 4.4cm with a 90 degree angle between sides 3 and 4?
By using Pythagoras' theorem the quadrilateral will have a diagonal of 5 cm thus dividing the quadrilateral into two triangles and then by finding the area of each triangle the area of the quadrilateral works out as 16.69 square cm rounded to two decimal places.
What is the area of a triangle with vertices at -3 7 and 2 19 and 10 7?
By plotting the given vertices and then joining them together on the Cartesian plane the shape of a isosceles triangle will be formed with an area of 78 square units.
What does bh mean in the formula for area?
Multiply the base time the height of the triangle or quadrilateral.
If the area of a parallelogram is 15 cm 2 what is the area of the green triangle?
That would depend on the dimension of the green triage. If the triangle was formed by joining two opposite corners of the parallelogram then it would be half the area of the parallelogram. Area of parallelogram = 15*2 = 30 square cm. 1/2 the area = 15 square cm.
