A rectangle is shown. A line is drawn from a corner to the opposite corner to form 2 triangles. The area of a rectangle in 24 square units. A diagonal drawn from one corner to another divides the rectangle into two right triangles. What is the area of the shaded triangle? 2 times 24 square units 1 times 24 square units One-half times 24 square units One-fourth times 24 square units.

Area of shaded triangle = one - half times 24 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line that is drawn from one corner to the opposite corner is called the diagonal of the rectangle.

The diagonal splits the rectangle into 2 right angled triangle of same measurements.

Therefore,

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
