Hello!

You first have to find the area of the square grid

To find this you multiply the sides

14 * 14 = 196

Next you have to find the area of the triangle

To find the area of a triangle you use the equation

[tex] \frac{hb}{2} [/tex]

h is height
b is base

Put in the values you know
[tex] \frac{7 * 14}{2} [/tex]

Multiply

[tex] \frac{98}{2} = 49[/tex]

The area of the triangle is 49 inches squared

You divide the area of the triangle by the area of the square

196 / 49 = 4

The answer is 4 triangles

Hope this helps!
