Does a right triangle or a rectangle have the most right angles?
Rectangle has more right angles than the right triangle. The right triangle only has 1 right angle, while the rectangle has 4.
What solid figure only has 1 face?
no solid figure has only face the only shapes that has 1 face is 2d shapes
What solid figure has 1 flat surface and 1 vertex?
Cone
A rectangle and triangle have equal areas - the rectangle's length is 12 inches and its width is 8 inches so if the base of the triangle is 32 inches what is the length in inches of the altitude drawn?
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.
Why do you have to divide 2 when you are finding the area of a triangle?
Picture a square. now make a line connecting the two diagonal points. If bh is the volume of the rectangle, then we only have half a rectangle for each right triangle giving 1/2 *bh or bh/2. For any other traingle put the base parallel to the ground. Make a perpendicular line to the ground then you have two parts of a triangle divided at a vertex. Each of the these parts has a right angle. Make a second triangle of the same size and if you turn it into the two triangle fromt he first triangle and cut it apart, you can manipulate it to make a rectangle. The two triangles are a rectangle which is bh. divide by two to get one triangle so 1/2*bh or bh/2
