Question

What is the area of a triangle
that has a base of 8 inches and
a height of 3 2/5 inches?

Answer 1

13.6

My-step explanation:

We know the area of a triangle is:

`(BH)/(2)`

Where B is the base and H is the height. We know these values so all we have to do is substitute and solve:

`(8*3(2)/(5) )/(2)\\\\(8*(17)/(5) )/(2)\\\\((136)/(5) )/(2)\\\\(136)/(10) \\\\13.6`
