Answer:

The fabric is needed 300 ft² to make 150 pennants ⇒ answer C

Explanation:

* lets explain how to solve the problem

- The area of any triangle is 1/2 × b × h , where b is the base of

the triangle and h its height

- Each pennant is cut in the shape of a triangle

- The triangle is 4 feet long and 1 foot high

- They need to make 150 pennant

∵ The base of the triangle = 4 feet

∵ The height of the triangle = 1 foot

∵ The area of the triangle = 1/2 × b × h

∴ The area of the triangle = 1/2 × 4 × 1 = 2 feet²

∵ The number of pennants = 150

∵ The area of each pennant = 2

- To find the area they need to make 150 pennants multiply the

area of one pennant by the numbers of pennants

∴ The total area = 150 × 2 = 300 feet²

* The fabric is needed 300 ft² to make 150 pennants
