Answer:

The area is rational because the numbers in the formula are rational.

Explanation:

All repeating decimals are still rational because they can be expressed as fractions. For example,


$(1)/(7)=0.\overline{142857}$\end{document}

So every recurring decimal must be a fraction.

Also every terminating decimal can be represented as a fraction.

0.25 =
(1)/(4)

So the area is rational because the numbers are rational.

Area =
(1)/(2) X Base X Height

Base is Rational and Height is Rational. Hence Area=Rational.

When these rational numbers are substituted into the formula,the area must be rational.
