Which statement best describes the area of the triangle shown below? A coordinate grid is shown with a triangle.. The base is 4 units, and the height is 4 units. A It is one-half the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units.

B.It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.

C.It is twice the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units.

D.It is twice the area of a square of side length 4 units.

Verified Answer :

Answer:

The answer is B.It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a coordinate grid shown with triangle of measurements with base 4 units and height also 4 units.

We have to find the area of triangle which can be calculated as

⇒ \(Area=\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height\)

                  = \(\frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 4=8squareunits\)

we have to choose the statement describes the area of the triangle evaluate above.

Option A: Not matched ∵equals to \(\frac{1}{2}\)[area of rectangle of length 4 units width 2 units]= \(\frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 2=4 sq units\)                                  

Option B: matched : given one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.

⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 4=8 squnits\)

Option C : Not matched : It is twice the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units

⇒\(2\times length\times breadth=2\times 4\times 2=16 sq units\)

Option 4 : Not matched : It is twice the area of a square of side length 4 units.

⇒ \(2\times 4 \times 4=32 squnits\)

So, the correct option is B. It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.

Answer:The answer is B.
