Area Of A Triangle Inside Of A Rectangle

This tutorial shows how to find the area of a triangle located inside of a rectangle. Also review why the area of the triangle is half the area of the rectangle.

Thank you this helped alot (Clayde jamir)

Please solve this question. 1. PQRS is a rectangle in which PQ= 9cm and PS= 6cm. T is a point on PQ such that PT= 7cm and RV is the perpendicular from R to ST. calculate ST and RV ?

This looks complicated... But it's really easy. Those questions bug me XD

[@laila8754]

This is an excellent explication!!!! Thanks so much!!!

[@johnsbarro4866]

well, lets say you have a rectangle where the top left vertex is named A, top right is B, bottom left is C and bottom right is D. There is a line from A to D and a perpendicular line that goes from B to line AD. The bigger triangle in the triangle ABD wont be half even though two vertices of this triangle is located at the two vertices of the rectangle.

Even my teacher couldn't explain this better than you

[@zoned01]

Thanks helped me really well

[@amandaali223]

If you have the rectangle without any numbers, what do you do

[@LegendFight740]

Impossible to work out

[@swetasinha4746]

@@LegendFight740 Yeah it will be impossible unti you have a scale😂

THANK U SM

YW!

[@adnanqatouni]

What if they want the area of the white part and the height of the triangle was less than 4 .. Please Help

[@IcyqueenYT]

ty! This helped me soo much!!

[@royalhighdiamond3379]

The first question made me know what to do thank u !!

[@efazgoffur5190]

helpful tip. made it a rule of thumb for myself

[@StephiePSN]

[@liz1791]

do we have to divide by 2? or what?

[@rejibs495]

So. If the area of triangle is given then the area of rectangle is double the area of triangle am I right.

[@tagalaralphmatthew3719]

Thank you!!

[@reenak8761]

Why divide 2??

[@pratimapal1335]

he can use any simple method ,why he divided it with 2

[@zoned01]

I can also say multiplication of base and height divided by two [2] will give the answer

[@deekaytips5940]

Thank you so much

[@thyezichong9894]

You could have just 1/2 *4*12

[@jeffjijy]

thanks a lot

[@RaisedChainsaw]

very helpful

When he rotated it the smaller one did not actually fit

[@mcdarkergaming7148]

thnx from 2021

[@amandaali223]

Where is the working

[@ward1861]

0:40 but why 2?

[@Xdianaandini]

The area of triangle is always half of rectangle. That's the formula 1/2(bxh) from. Sorry bad english

[@josiahovertimebabes3258]

Late comment but anyways I just had to say it failed to get a perfect score for the test cuz pf npt knowing this....😂😂😔😔😑😖

[@issaramanomai6432]

why use 2divided?

[@mrmaisonet]

Because the area of a triangle always occupies half of the space of the rectangle it is inside of. +Issara Manomai

[@liz1791]

+mrmaisonet do we have to divide 2? With any triangle right?

[@liz1791]

[@tiffanylu5082]

the triangle formula is 1/2 base x height
