For each right triangle, draw the rectangle made by drawing sides opposite the two shorter sides in the triangle. Find the area of each rectangle
Insufficient data.
rectangle area is twice the triangle area.
To find the area of a rectangle formed by drawing sides opposite the two shorter sides of a right triangle, we need to know the lengths of the two shorter sides. Once we have the lengths of the two shorter sides, we can multiply these lengths to calculate the area of the rectangle.
Here's how you can find the area of each rectangle:
1. Identify the two shorter sides of the right triangle. Let's label them as "a" and "b".
2. Draw a rectangle by extending the sides opposite to "a" and "b". The sides of the rectangle will be equal in length to "a" and "b".
3. Measure the lengths of sides "a" and "b" using a ruler or any other length measuring tool.
4. Multiply the lengths of sides "a" and "b" to calculate the area of the rectangle. The formula to find the area of a rectangle is:
Area = Length * Width
Therefore, to find the area of the rectangle, you can use the following equation:
Area = a * b
Substitute the values of "a" and "b" that you measured in the previous step.
5. Calculate the product of "a" and "b" to find the area of the rectangle.
Repeat these steps for each right triangle, using the lengths of the two shorter sides of each triangle to find the area of the corresponding rectangle.
