Understanding Triangles
Which statements about triangles are true? Select all that apply
Two triangles can be put together to form a parallelogram
The area of a triangle can be found using the formula A = 2bh
All triangles have an area that is one half the area of a rectangle with the same base and height
A diagonal can split a rectangle with an area of 40 square units into two triangles with areas of 20 saune units
each
A triangle with a base and height of 4 units has a greater area than a square with the same dimensions

Respuesta :

Answer:

1, 3, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 and 5 are not correct. For 2, instead of 2xbh it is 1/2bh. For 5, they would be the triangle would not have a greater area, the square would.

The statements which are true in the given question are Statement -1, Statement-3, Statement-4.

What is a triangle?

A flat shape with three angles and three straight sides is called a triangle.

Area of a Triangle = (1/2) * b * h

b - base of the triangle

h - height of the triangle

What is a rectangle?

With four sides, four corners, and four right angles (90°), a rectangle is a closed 2-D object. A rectangle's opposite sides are equal and parallel.

Area of a rectangle = l * b

l - length of the rectangle

b - breadth of the rectangle

Explanation:

Statement - 1 :

The two triangles have to be of equal dimensions to join them together and form a parallelogram, Hence it is a correct statement.

Statement - 2:

The area of a triangle is calculated by the formula A = (1/2)*b*h and not A = 2bh, hence it is a wrong statement.

Statement - 3:

Correct, if we split a rectangle with the same base and height we will get the triangle's area as half of the area of the rectangle.

Statement - 4:

Yes, a diagonal of a rectangle will split it's area into two halves.

Statement - 5:

No, the area of the triangle with base and height as 4 units will be 8 sq unit while the area of the square with the same dimensions will be 16 sq unit.
