Answer:
0.125 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and breadth. Therefore:
area of the rectangle = length (l) × breadth (b) = 1 m².
l × b = 1
A triangle is cut off from that rectangle along a line connecting the midpoints of two adjacent sides, therefore the base of the triangle = length of rectangle/2 and the height of triangle = breadth of rectangle/2.
Area of triangle = 1/2(base × height) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}*\frac{l}{2}*\frac{b}{2}=\frac{1}{8}lb[/tex]
since lb = 1:
Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{8}*1=0.125m^2[/tex]
