Answers

  1. the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the rectangle is 1: 2

    How to determine the parameters

    The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is;
    Area of triangle = 1/ 2 base × height
    The formula for area of a rectangle is;
    Area of a rectangle = length ×  width
    From the information given, we have;
    • width = 11mm
    • base = 11mm
    • height = 4mm
    • length = 4mm
    Now, let’s substitute the values;
    Area of a triangle = 1/ 2 × 11 × 4
    Area of a triangle = 44/ 2 = 22m²
    Area of a rectangle = 11 × 4
    Area of a rectangle = 44m²
    The ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the rectangle is
    = 22: 44
    = 1 : 2
    Thus, the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the rectangle is 1: 2
