The shapes below are drawn on a centimetre grid

show that these shapes have the same area

See the explanation to understand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first off you have to understand the area concept. The area is shown on the grid clearly fir the square, 4cm (2x2). Now it might be a little tricky for the triangle but don’t worry, take it slowly, count the areas of the base of the triangle, the correct answer for that is 2cm so the base of the triangle is 2cm. Now go to highest point of the triangle and count down all the way to the base. The number you should get is 4. So now we know that the base is 2cm and the height is 4cm. Using the triangle Area formula which is base times height divided by two: bh/2 , substituting the values we have 2x4 is 8. 8 divided by two is 4cm. Now we know that the areas are the same by checking using the formula.

Hope this makes sense!

1. If it is intersection then it SHOULD be included in both the sets right? Now we know that odd numbers from 1-100 but the second set are multiples of 5 from 50-150! So we mainly need to look for common numbers which are ODD and are a MULTIPLE OF 5 BETWEEN 50 - 100!! So A={51,53,57,59,6199} B={55,60,65,7095} [We stop till 100 because set A has no such element] So what is A ∩ B here? A ∩ B = {All odd numbers and multiples of 5 between 50 - 100}
