Question

mr. Webster cut a triangle with a height of 4 inches and a base of 6 inches out of a sheet of paper measuring 10 inches by 12 inches she recycled the unused paper what was the area of the cheaper shipping recycled

Answer 1

108 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the recycled part can be calculated as the difference between the area of the sheet of paper and the area of the triangle.

So, the area of the sheet of paper can be calculated as:

Ar = Base x Height

Ar = 10 in x 12 in

Ar = 120 in²

Then, the area of the triangle can be calculated as:

At = (1/2) x Base x Height

At = (1/2) x 6 in x 4 in

At = 12 in²

Therefore, the area of the recycled part is equal to:

A = Ar - At

A = 120 in² - 12 in²

A = 108 in²

So, the answer is 108 in²
