How is a triangle and rectangle alike?
They are both polygon. If you cut a rectangle diagonally, you will have two triangles. And if you want to figure out the area of a right triangle, you can treat it as a rectangle and then cut your calculation in half to get the correct answer.
A rectangle has a base of 5 inches and a height of 7 inches If the dimensions are cut in half what will happen to the area of the rectangle?
It doesn't make any difference what the original dimensions are. If they're both cut in half, the area is reduced to 1/4 of the original area.
Why do you have to cut the area of a triangle in half?
Because otherwise you would have found the area of the rectangle/square (the rectangle/square being if you put two of the triangles together).
Can a square be cut in half vertically to make two identical rectangles?

How many lines of symmetry do squares have?
The square has four lines of symmetry. The rectangle has only two, as it can be folded in half horizontally or vertically: students should be encouraged to try to fold the rectangle in half diagonally to see why this does not work.
What solid figure would you get if you cut a rectangle in half?
If you cut a rectangle in half you wouldn't get a solid figure at all, since a rectangle is a plane figure. If you made a straight line cut you would get either a triangle or a quadrilateral of some variety depending on exactly how the cut was made.
Dividing a rectangle in half diagonally always produces two equal triangles?
Yes, two equal right-angle triangles.
If you cut a rectangle in half does it make a square?
No. There is no way you can cut one rectangle in half and only get one square. The other half would also have to be a square and this will only happen if the proportions are 1:2 and you cut the long sides.There are infinitely many ways to cut a rectangle in half none of which result in new rectangles. Only if the rectangle has proportions 1:2 can cutting it in half make a square, in fact the result could be two squares, not one.
Can rectangle cut in half become a square?
That depends on its dimensions.
How could you make a trapezoid out of a rectangle in one cut?

Can an rectangles be cut half in to vertically or horizontally?
