HELP MEE PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brian needs to paint a logo made using two right triangles. The dimensions of the logo are shown below. What is the difference between the area of the large triangle and the area of the small triangle? Two right triangles are attached along their longest side. The smaller triangle has height 6 cm and base 2 cm. The height of the larger triangle is 9 cm and its base is 3 cm. A. 7.5 cm2 B. 15.0 cm2 C. 19.5 cm2 D. 39.0 cm2

Answer 1

1/2×6×2=6
1/2×9×3=13.5
13.5-6=7.5
answer is A

Answer 2

A. 7.5 cm2

Explanation:

Right triangles area is calculated as follows:

Area = (1/2)*height*base

For the smaller triangle:

Area = (1/2)*6*2 = 6 cm²

For the larger triangle:

Area = (1/2)*9*3 = 13.5 cm²

The difference between the area of the large triangle and the area of the small triangle is 13.5 - 6 = 7.5 cm²
