Manchu has drawn a rectangle with a base of
24 cm and an area of
336 cm². He cuts the
rectangle as shown to make two triangles.
What are the height and area of each
triangle?

Height of each triangle: 14cm

Area of each triangle: 168cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that the base of the area is 24. Lets find the height.

336 ÷ 24 = 14

If he makes two triangles out of the rectangle that just means he cuts it in half.

To find the area of one triangle lets do:

336 ÷ 2 = 168

Let's double check our

(14 × 24) ÷ 2 = 168

Seems great!

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
