Hello there!

Answer:

Triangle 2

Explanation:

To determine which triangle has the bigger area, we would need to figure our the area of the triangles.

To solve for the area of the triangles, we would use the formula length × width × height or l × w × h

They gave us the information to the triangles in the question, so we would just solve.

Triangle 1:
300 *400*500= 60,000,000

Triangle 2:
300*400*700=84,000,000

When you finish solving, you would see that triangle 2 has the bigger area.

Triangle 2 would be the CORRECT answer because it has a bigger area than Triangle 1.
