Question

Linnett is planning a concert and needs to tell the bands that are playing how big the stage is. The stage has a width of 32 ft. And a depth of 17 ft. What is the area of the triangular stage below, in square feet?

Answer 1

272 ft²

Explanation:

Given that:

Width = 32 = length of base ; depth = 17 = height

Area of triangle :

A = 0.5 * base * height

A = 0.5 * 17 * 32

A = 272 ft²

Area of triangular stage = 272 ft²
