Question

Which equation can be used to calculate the area of the shaded triangle in the figure below?

(5 points)

2(12 × 4) = 96 square feet

(12 × 4) = 24 square feet

2(12 + 4) = 32 square feet

(4 + 12) = 8 square feet

Answer 1

(12x4)= 24 square feet.

Explanation:

Hi there.

As I'm sure you know, the formula for the area of the triangle is BxH(1/2).

12x4=48

48x1/2=24

(or you can just divide by 2, whatever floats your boat.)

Hope this helped. :)
