A diagonal was drawn in a rectangle with sides of 12 and 6 cm. Find the area of each of the resulting triangles.

1. First, calculate the area of the rectangle.

12 x 6 = 72 (cm2);

2. Since the diagonal divides our rectangle into two equal triangles, then to calculate the area of each of them, it is enough to divide the resulting value by 2.

48/2 = 36 (cm2).

Answer: the area of each of the obtained triangles is 36 cm2.
