Answer:
- base area: 21 ft²
- volume 105 ft³
Explanation:
The area of a triangle is given by the formula ...
A = (1/2)bh
The base and height of a right triangle can be taken to be the leg lengths, since each is perpendicular to the other.
A = (1/2)(6 ft)(7 ft) = 21 ft² . . . . base area
__
The volume is the product of the base area and the height:
V = Bh
V = (21 ft²)(5 ft) = 105 ft³ . . . . volume
