Triangle P has a base of 5 m and height of 4 m. Triangle B has a base of 5 cm

and height of 4 cm. Find out how many times greater triangle P's area is

than triangle B's area.

10000

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the units of triangle B to cm.

4cm = 0.04m

5cm = 0.05m

Find the area of triangle P:

A = 1/2 (base*height)

=1/2 (5*4)

=1/2 (20)

= 10m^2

Area of triangle B:

A = 1/2 (base*height)

=1/2 (0.05*0.04)

=1/2 (0.002)

= 0.001m^2

How many times greater triangle P's area is than triangle B's area:

10/0.001 = 10000

100

Step-by-step explanation:

p=4 x 5 / 2=10m

b=4 x 5 / 2=10cm

centimeter=1/100meter
