Jackie cut a piece of paper along its diagonal, as shown below, forming two triangles. A rectangle is cut diagonally to form 2 equal triangles. How do the height and base length of the two triangles compare to the height and base length of the original piece of paper?

The two dimensions are the same in the triangles as they were in the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of a triangle is the perpendicular distance from the one vertex of the triangle to the one side of the triangle( that side is called base of the triangle).

Let the length of the given rectangle is l unit and width of the rectangle is b unit,

When the rectangle is cut along its diagonal,

Then we found two right triangles,

In which both having dimensions,

height = b and base = l,

Thus, the dimension of the triangles are same as the rectangles.

⇒ First option is correct.
