Aright triangle abc with height ab labeled 3 units and base bc labeled 5 units is shown. the area of the triangle above will equal one half of a rectangle that is 5 units long and units wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

w=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle is given by

A = 1/2 bh

the base is 5 and the height is 3

A = 1/2 (3) * 5 = 15/2  units ^2

The area of a rectangle is

A = l*w

A = 5w

The area of the triangle = 1/2 the area of the rectangle

15/2 = 1/2 *5w

15/2 = 5/2 w

Multiply each side by 2/5 to isolate w

2/5 * 15/2 = 2/5 *5/2 w

3 =w
