1. In the figure below, the area of square PQRS is 64. What is the area of triangle QRT?
- A. 48
- B. 48
- C. 48
- D. 48
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
There is no need to even apply the formula for area of the triangle.
Since location of point T is not defined, we can assume it to be anywhere.
Consider point T to coincide with point P. This will divide the squire in 2 equal halves.
Since the area of the squire is 64, the are of triangle will be 64/2 = 32.
