Answer 1

The total area of the two triangles is 100 inches²

Explanation:

To solve for the area of a triangle we use the formula
`(1)/(2) bh`

(or base*height divided by 2)

First I solved for the area of the blue triangle.

The base is 12 inches and the height is 10 inches.

`(1)/(2)` * 12 * 10 equals 60 inches².

For the orange triangle the base is 8 inches and the height is 10 inches.

`(1)/(2)` * 8 * 10 equals 40 inches².

60in² + 40in² = 100in²
