Question

Fabian is decorating a triangular pennant for a football game. The pennant has a base of 10 inches and a height of 24 inches. What is the total area of the pennant?

Please help!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:
`120in^2`

Explanation:

The formula that is used to calculate the area of a triangle is:

`A_((triangle))=(b*h)/(2)`

Where the base of the triangle is b and the height of triangle is h.

If the pennant has a base of 10 inches and a height of 24 inches, you know that:

`b=10in\\h=24in`

As it is a triangular pennant, you can substitute the values of the base and the value of the height into the formula used to calculate the area of a triangle.

Then, total area of the pennant is:

`A_((pennant))=((10in)(24in))/(2)\\\\A_((pennant))=120in^2`
