Question

Which equation can be used to find the area of the blue triangle on the left side of the trapezoid?

Answer 1

B.

Explanation:

times the 6.5 and the 5 and then once you've got the product you divide by 2 or 1/2 then you got it

Answer 2

The answer is B... The formula for the area of a triangle is base x height / 2. The height would be 5. Since 9 is the base length of the rectangle, it leaves 13 inches left from the triangles. There are 2 sides so divide 13 by 2 to get 6.5. Then just plug it into the formula: (6.5)(5)/2
