Question

I got the answer 27.5, but I checked with the answer key and it says it’s 16.5, did I make a mistake or is the key wrong?

Answer 1

A = 1/2 bh

b = 11 units

h = 3

A = 1/2 (11*3)

A = 1/2 * 33

A =16.5

Explanation:

Answer 2

A =16.5

Explanation:

This is a triangle. I will assume we want to find the area

A = 1/2 bh

I will take the base as the right hand side

b = 11 units

h = It is the number of units from the base to the top of the triangle which is 3

A = 1/2 (11*3)

A = 1/2 * 33

A =16.5
