Olivia is cutting a 1/2m by 3/4m piece of rectangular paper into two pieces along it’s diagonal

Question

Find the area

Answer 1

First, please note that IT'S (with apostrophe) is only used when IT IS is meant.

 

The area of the rectangle can be computed easily: one half of three fourths is three eights sq m.

 

Each triangle, after cutting, will therefore have an area of half of the above, namely three sixteenths sq m..
