Question

Compute the area of the following triangle. (Round answer to the nearest hundredth). b = 16.5 in. h = 7.5 in. Area = ? square inches

Answer 1

The area is 61.88 square inches. (Rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Answer 2

Area of the triangle = 61.875 in²

Explanation:

Formula to calculate the area of a triangle is represented by
`A=(1)/(2)(Height)(Base)=(1)/(2)(b)(h)`

Now we have to calculate the area of a triangle of which base b = 16.5 in and height h = 7.5 in.

Now we put the values in the formula

`A=(1)/(2)(16.5)(7.5)=(8.25)(7.5)=61.875 in^(2)`

Therefore answer is area of the triangle = 61.875 in²
