Question

Find the area of the triangle that has a base of 5 in. and a height of 3 and 3/4 in.

Answer 1

The area is 9 3/8 in^3. Hopes this helps

Answer 2

The formula for area of a triangle given its base and its height is A = (bh)1/2.

The base and height of the triangle are given as follows.

b = 5

h = 3 3/4 or 15/4

Plug these values into the above formula and solve.

A = (bh)1/2

A = 5(15/4)1/2

A = 75/4 * 1/2

A = 75/8

Answer:

The area of the triangle is
`(75)/(8)` in² or
`9(3)/(8)` in².
