Question

the figure shows eight congruent triangles made by dividing a square that has an area of 64 cm². what is the area of abh?

Explanation:

Step1: Find the area of one triangle

Since the square is divided into 8 congruent triangles, and the area of the square is \(64\ cm^{2}\). Let the area of one triangle be \(S\). Then \(8S = 64\).

Step2: Solve for \(S\)

Divide both sides of the equation \(8S=64\) by 8. We get \(S=\frac{64}{8}=8\ cm^{2}\).

Answer:

\(8\ cm^{2}\)
