Question

Find the area of a triangle whose base is 2÷3in and height is 3÷3in

Answer 1

1/3 or 0.(3)

Because you would first multiply 2/3 times 3/3 to get 2/3 or 0.(6)

Next, you would either divide that by two or multiply it by 1/2 to get... 1/3 or 0.(3)

* If the number is in parenthesis, it means it is a repeating number

Answer 2

base =
`(2)/(3)` in
height =
`(3)/(3)` in

area of triangle =
`(1)/(2)bh`
area =
`(1)/(2)` x
`(2)/(3)` x
`(3)/(3)`
area =
`(1)/(3)` in²
