Calculate the area of a triangle if it is 9 times less than the area of a square whose side is 12cm.

If the length of the side of the square is 12 cm, then we find its area.

We know that the area of a square is equal to the square of its side, that is, it is necessary to multiply 12 cm by 12 cm.

12 cm * 12 cm = 144 cm2 – the area of this square.

If it is said that the area of a triangle is 9 times less than the area of a square, then we find what the area of a triangle is equal to.

Divide 144 cm2 by 9.

144 cm2: 9 = 16 cm2 is the area of the indicated triangle.

Answer: the area of the indicated triangle is 16 square centimeters.
