Answer:
The area of the triangle is 0.5 square units more than the area of the parallelogram.
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertical sides of the parallelogram are 3 units long and separated by 2 units. Hence the area of that figure is 3×2 = 6 square units.
The leg lengths of the right triangle are each
√(2^2 + 3^2) = √13
so the area of the triangle is ...
A = (1/2)(√13)^2 = 13/2 = 6.5
The triangle has area 0.5 square units more than the parallelogram.
