The bottom of a parallelogram is 20 cm and the height is 16 cm. What is the area of the largest triangle drawn inside?

The bottom of a parallelogram is 20 cm and the height is 16 cm. What is the area of the largest triangle drawn inside?


If the bottom edge is 20 cm, the maximum value of the bottom edge of the triangle is 20, and the maximum value of the height is 16; Smax = 1 / 2 * 20 * 16 = 160 (square centimeter)



The base of a parallelogram is 16 cm and the height is 9 cm. The height of a triangle is 12 cm. It is known that the areas of triangles are equal. The height of a triangle can be calculated
The equation of


Let the height of a triangle be X
First calculate the area of parallelogram = 16 * 9 = 144
The area of a triangle is equal to that of a parallelogram
The results are as follows
1/2 *12 * x=144
The solution is h = 24
A: the height of the triangle is 24



The bottom of the parallelogram is 6 meters, the height is 5 meters, and how many square meters is the area of the triangle with the same bottom and height


6×5÷2=15m²
