Jordan is cutting a 2 meter by 1 1/4 meter piece of rectangular paper into two pieces along its diagonal. what is the area of each of the pieces?

 The area of each of the pieces is

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Jordan is cutting a rectangular piece of dimensions into two pieces along its diagonals.

We are to find the area of each of the two pieces.

The area of a rectangle is given by the product of its length and breadth.

For the given rectangular paper,

length, l = 2 meters,

breadth, b

Therefore, area of the paper will be

Since a diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two equal parts, so the area of each of the pieces of the paper is given by

Thus, the area of each of the pieces is
