What kind of triangle can be made in a rectangle?
Any kind of triangle can be made in a rectangle.
Could a triangle and a rectangle be congruent?
Could a triangle and a rectangle ever be congruent? explain
What is the rectangle method in math?
The term "rectangle method" is used in different ways in math, but I will guess that your question is related to finding areas on a Geoboard. A Geoboard has a grid of pegs; you can make outlines of figures by stretching elastic bands around the pegs. If your figure is a triangle, you can find it's area by making the smallest rectangle which will enclose the triangle (The rectangle should have vertical and horizontal sides). The area of the rectangle can be found easily by multiplying the length by the width. The area of the triangle is half of the area of the rectangle.
Could a triangle and a rectangle ever be congruent?
Never. A triangle has 3 sides, while rectangle has 4 sides.No
What is the area of a right triangle that has legs 7 cm and 4 cm long?
The area of a right triangle that has legs 7 cm and 4 cm long can be calculated using the fact that a right triangle is half of a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is l*h, so the area of a right triangle is l*h/2. In this case, the area is 14 cm^2.
Why is the area of the triangle half the base times the height?
Because a triangle is half of a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is length times width, the area of a triangle is half that.
How do you find the area of a rectangle with a triangle attached to the side?
you split your shape in half, (The rectangle and the triangle), by putting a line through it and then calculate the area of the rectangle and then calculate the area of the triangle, half the area of the triangle then add the area of the triangle and the rectangle together!Then you should have your answer!
For each triangle draw the other half of a rectangle. What does this mean?
The area of qa triangle is always half of the area of a rectangle with the same dimensions
What is half a square?
Half a square is called a rectangle or a triangle.
How are the areas of the triangle and rectangle related?
the area of a triangle is half that of a rectangle made using two of those triangles.
How is the area of a triangle related to the area of a rectangle?
It's half the area of a rectangle
How is the triangle formula derived from the area of rectangles?
The area of a triangle is expressed using the formula A=(1/2)(bh) Where A is area Where B is length of the base of the triangle. Where H is the height of the triangle. The area of a rectangle is A=BH, Where B is the length of the base of the rectangle. Where H is the height of the rectangle. Because a triangle, essentially, is a half of a rectangle, you find the area of the whole rectangle that the triangle comes from, then divide that in half.
Can you find the area of ANY triangle by usingbase times height divided by 2?
Yes because the area of a rectangle is base times height and every triangle is half a square.
A triangle is within a rectangle. how to find the ratio of the area of triangle to the rectangle?
Sounds like the triangle is spread out so that (the point is at the top of the rectangle) and (the base of the triangle is the same as the base of the rectangle).Base of rectangle = base of triangleHeight of rectangle = height of triangleWrite the formulas:Area of the rectangle = (base) times (height)Area of triangle = (one half of) (base) times (height)Can you see the ratio now ?
How are the formulas for area of a triangle and rectangle similar?
the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height
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.
How is finding the area of a triangle different from finding the area of a rectangle?
the area of a triangle is base times height times one half and rectangle is length times width
