Question

The right triangular flag of a sports club was designed to have a base length of 4 ft and height of 6 ft. For a sports event, the club made a new flag by doubling the base and height of the flag.

The area of the new flag is ______ times larger than the original flag

Answer 1

Area of a triangle is \[\frac{ base*height }{2 }\]
The first step is to solve the two triangles for the area of each.
The first base and height are given in the problem. The height is 6 and the base is 4.
The second one the problem says the values are doubled. The height would be 12 and the base would be 8.

Once you find the areas divide the larger value by the smaller value and you get your answer.
