What is the percentage increase in area when a triangle is cloned (so that we have two triangles in total) and the resulting two triangles are joined on their bases to form a parallelogram ? Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 100%
B) 150%
C) 300%
D) 120%
E) 140%
area of a triangle having base b and height h given by 1/2(b*h)   when two triangles are mounted onto their bases to form a parallelogram, then area would become b*h   percentage increase of area= (new area- area of original triangle)/(area of the original triangle) X 100%   =(b * h)-1/2(b*h) /1/2(b * h) * 100%   = (1-1/2) / (1/2)X100%   =100%   100%NSWER:100%
