Sammy is trying to determine how many triangles she can create out of a square grid that has a side of 14 inches. use the image below to determine the area of the triangle and how many she can cut out. triangle with height of 7 inches and base of 14 inches aligned to the left side of a 14 by 14 inch square grid.

Hello!

You first have to find the area of the square grid

To find this you multiply the sides

14 * 14 = 196

Next you have to find the area of the triangle

To find the area of a triangle you use the equation



h is height
b is base

Put in the values you know


Multiply



The area of the triangle is 49 inches squared

You divide the area of the triangle by the area of the square

196 / 49 = 4

The answer is 4 triangles

Hope this helps!
