A square is shown below. Which expression can be used to find the area, in square units, of the shaded triangle in the square?

A square with a side length of 8 units is shown. A diagonal is drawn with one section shaded inside the figure.

fraction 1 over 2 ⋅ 4 ⋅ 4
fraction 1 over 4 ⋅ 4 ⋅ 4
fraction 1 over 2 ⋅ 8 ⋅ 8
fraction 1 over 4 ⋅ 8 ⋅ 8

Respuesta :

fraction 1 over 2 ⋅ 8 ⋅ 8

The area of the shaded triangle in the square is (1/2) *8 *8 which is the correct option (C)

What is a square?

A square is defined as a polygon that has four sides and is a closed, two-dimensional (2D) object. A square has equal and parallel sides on all four sides.

The area of a square is equal to the squared of sides or the multiplication of two sides.

Here the side of the square is 8 units so the area would be 8×8

The area of the shaded triangle is the exact half of the area of the square so it will be written as

(1/2) *8 *8

Hence, area of the shaded triangle in the square is (1/2) *8 *8

Therefore Option (C) is the correct answer.
