Answer:
[tex]30\text{ unit}^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN: A rectangle can be divided evenly into two right triangles. If the area of the rectangle is [tex]60[/tex] [tex]units^2[/tex].
TO FIND: area of the blue right triangle.
SOLUTION:
As the rectangle is divided between two even right triangle area of both right triangle is equal.
let the area of one right triangle [tex]=x\text{unit}^2[/tex]
As the sum of area of triangles s equal to area of rectangle
[tex]x+x=60\text{ units}^2[/tex]
[tex]2x =60[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{60}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=30\text{ unit}^2[/tex]
Hence the area of one of the right triangle is [tex]30\text{ unit}^2[/tex]
