shapes for a mural. One triangle has a base of 12 feet and a height of 8 feet. The other triangle has a base of 16 feet and a height of 6 feet. Which triangle has a greater area?
To find the area of a triangle, we use the formula:
Area = (base x height) / 2
For the first triangle, the area would be:
Area = (12 x 8) / 2 = 48 square feet
For the second triangle, the area would be:
Area = (16 x 6) / 2 = 48 square feet
Therefore, both triangles have the same area of 48 square feet.
