area of the small triangle =
8=bh/2 ; 16=bh ;
thus, bh must equal (4,4) or (8,2)
since the sides of the small triangle are the midpoint of the larger one,
area of the larger triangle=
x=2b2h/2 ; 2x=2b2h ;
we can plug in either possible value of the sides of the smaller triangle.
2x=2(4)*2(4); 2x=64; x=32. Area of the larger triangle is 32,
thus D is the answer
8=bh/2 ; 16=bh ;
thus, bh must equal (4,4) or (8,2)
since the sides of the small triangle are the midpoint of the larger one,
area of the larger triangle=
x=2b2h/2 ; 2x=2b2h ;
we can plug in either possible value of the sides of the smaller triangle.
2x=2(4)*2(4); 2x=64; x=32. Area of the larger triangle is 32,
