Question

Find the area of a triangle with a base of 9 feet and a height of 16 feet . The area of the triangle is _ square feet

Answer 1

A = 72ft².

We have to use the area of a triangle equation A = (b*h)/2.

A triangle with a base b = 9ft and a height h = 16ft:

A = (9ft*16ft)/2 = 144ft²/2

A = 72ft²

Answer 2

A = 72 ft^2

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by

A = 1/2 bh where b is the base and h is the height

A = 1/2 (9)*16

A = 72 ft^2
