Question

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 50 feet and a height of 75 feet’

Answer 1

1875 square feet is the area of triangle.

Explanation:

From question statement, we observed that

Base and height of triangle are given and we have to find the area of triangle.

Base = b = 50 feet and Height = h = 75 feet

Area = A = ?

The formula to find area of triangle is :

A = 1/2 ×b×h where A ,b and h denotes Area , base and height respectively.

Putting given values in above formula, we have

A = 1/2×50×75

A =1/2×3750

A = 1875 square feet

Hence, the area of triangle with a base of 50 feet and a height of 75 feet is 1875 square feet.

Answer 2

The correct answer is,

the area of given triangle = 1875 square feet

Explanation:

Formula:

Area of triangle = bh/2

b - Base and h - height

It is given that,a triangle with a base of 50 feet and a height of 75 feet’

To find the area of triangle

base b = 50 feet and height h = 75 feet

Area = bh/2 = (50 x 75 )/2

Area = 3750/2 = 1875 square feet

Therefore the area of given triangle = 1875 square feet
