If the midpoints of the sides of a triangle are connected, the area of the triangle formed is what part of the area of the original triangle? 1)1/2 2)3/8 3)1/3 4)1/4

If the midpoints of the sides of a triangle are connected then the center of the triangle is part of the original triangle that is left. The triangle would break into three additional parts so the sides and angles would become smaller but the center would stay the same size.
