Answer 6

Did you read the problem? It tells you what the area of the 4 grey triangles is in figure A

Answer 7

What does statement 1 say?

Answer 8

A-(1/2xy)-2xy

Answer 9

Statement 1 says that the area of the 4 grey triangles inside Figure A = 4(1/2xy)=2xy

Answer 10

Looking at the picture, we see that is true. The base and height of the grey triangles is x and y. So the area is 1/2(xy). There are 4 grey triangles so the total area of all 4 is 4 (1/2)(2xy) which is 2xy.

Answer 11

Are you with me so far?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

Answer 24

Now what does statement 4 say?

Answer 25

Area of the four grey triangles inside figure B = 4xy

Answer 26

Is that true?

Answer 27

no

Answer 28

Because we know that the area of the 4 grey triangles is 2xy. So statement 4 is obviously false.
