Elijah draws shapes on his graph paper.He draws a square with sides 1/2 inch long. He draws an equilateral triangle with sides that are 1/4 inch long. What is another measurement that describes the length of the triangle's sides ?
a. 2/1 inch
b. 2/2 inch
c. 2/8 inch
d. 2/4 inch
Which fraction is the same as 1/4?
I'll be glad to check your answer.
2/8?
Right.
2/8 = 1/4
Thank you! :)
You're welcome.
To find another measurement that describes the length of the triangle's sides, we can use the fact that an equilateral triangle has all sides of equal length.
The given length of one side of the equilateral triangle is 1/4 inch. Since all sides are equal, we can multiply this length by 3 to find the length of all sides of the triangle.
1/4 inch * 3 = 3/4 inch
Therefore, the correct answer is:
d. 2/4 inch
