To find the area of one of the triangles that Moses created, we first need to find the total area of the rectangle.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the length is 24 units and the width is 16 units.
Area of rectangle = length x width
Area of rectangle = 24 x 16
Area of rectangle = 384 square units
Moses created 8 triangles to cover the entire rectangle. Since all the triangles are congruent, we can divide the total area of the rectangle by 8 to find the area of one triangle.
Area of one triangle = Total area of rectangle / Number of triangles
Area of one triangle = 384 / 8
Area of one triangle = 48 square units
Therefore, the area of one of the triangles that Moses created is 48 square units.
Moses found the area of the rectangle below by creating triangles as shown. What is the area of one of the triangles? The rectangle is 16 units and 24 units
