Question

Area of a triangle can be found using the formula A = 1/2 bh where B is the base of the triangle and H is the height of the triangle. Express the area of the triangle as a monomial

Answer 1

The correct option is option 3

Explanation:

Monomials are algebraic expressions that contain one term. It can be variables combined together to make one single term. It can be a single variable combined many times. As long as it is one single entity, it is a monomial

Given the formula for the area of the right angles triangle above to be

A =1/2bh

Where

b = 6x = base of the right angle triangle and

h = 7x = height of the right angle triangle.

The area would be

A = 1/2 × 7x × 6x

A= 42x^2 / 2

A= 21x^2 inches^2

Also written as

21x^2 squared inches

21x^2 is a monomial
