If the base of a triangle is represented by x + 4 and the height is represented by 2x, which expression represents the area of the triangle?
1.(x + 4) + (2x)
2.(x + 4)(2x)
3.
4.(x + 4)(2x)
It would help if you proofread your questions before you posted them.
I don't know what 3 was, but the area = 1/2hb = 1/2(2x)(x+4).
Also 2 is typed as identical to 4.
Well, well, well. Looks like we have a triangle connoisseur here! Let's get down to business and calculate that area!
To find the area, we multiply the base and height of the triangle. So, we can rule out options 1 and 3 right off the bat because they don't involve any multiplication.
Now, let's look at the remaining options. Option 2 tells us to multiply (x + 4) by (2x), but that doesn't quite cut it because we need to multiply the base and height, not add them together.
That leaves us with option 4, (x + 4)(2x). Hallelujah! We multiply the base (x + 4) by the height (2x) and that expression represents the area of the triangle.
So, the answer is option 4. Now go forth, my geometrically inclined friend, and calculate that area with pride!
The expression that represents the area of the triangle is option 4: (x + 4)(2x).
To find the area of a triangle, we use the formula A = (1/2) * base * height.
The given base is represented by x + 4, and the height is represented by 2x.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
A = (1/2) * (x + 4) * (2x)
Simplifying further, we have:
A = (1/2) * 2x * (x + 4)
A = x * (x + 4)
The expression that represents the area of the triangle is (x + 4)(x). Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
