  a) see attachment

  b) base: 4, height: 4√3

  c) area: 16√3

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The figure is drawn in the attachment

__

b) The side lengths of a 30-60-90 right triangle have the ratio ...

  1 : √3 : 2

Multiplying these by 4 gives the side lengths of each triangle created by the diagonal. The base (short leg) is 4 units; the height (long leg) is 4√3 units.

__

c) The area is the product of base and height:

  A = bh

  A = 4(4√3) = 16√3 . . . . square units

apex answer is: true.

no it isn’t   i believe it is
