Hi can you please help me with this

Question

thank you
The area of a triangle is 4 times the area of the smaller triangle formed by joining the midpoints of two sides True or false. Draw a counterexample to show if it's false.

Answer 1

joining the midpoints means that the smaller triangle is half the height
... and half the base length of the larger triangle

use the triangle area formula to find the relationship

k * [1/2 * (b/2) * (h/2)] = 1/2 * b * h ... solve for k
