Francesca is writing a coordinate proof to show that the diagonals of a rectangle divide the rectangle into four triangles of equal area Are my fill ins right class=

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Since PQRS is a rectangle ,

The x- coordinate for S  and R is same . The x coordinate of S is 2x

So R is (2x, 2y)

Mid point of 2x is x  and mid point of 2y is y

Diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other so coordinate of T  are (x,y)

In triangle PTQ, the length of the base is 2y  and height is x

We know area of triangle is [tex]\frac{1}{2}* base * height[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}* 2y * x[/tex]= xy

Area of the triangle PTQ is xy

In triangle RTQ, the length of the base is 2x  and height is y

area of triangle is [tex]\frac{1}{2}* base * height[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}* 2x * y[/tex]= xy

In triangle RTS, the length of the base is 2y  and height is x

We know area of triangle is [tex]\frac{1}{2}* base * height[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}* 2y * x[/tex]= xy
