Question

Find the area of the triangle belowUnit given is yd, yd^2, yd^3

Answer 1

`A_T=84yd^2`

Step-by-step explanation: We need to find the area of the triangle, and we know that in general the area of the Right triangle is as follows:

`A_T=(1)/(2)(b* h)`

In the provided figure, we have the following information available for us:

`\begin{gathered} h=24yd \\ b=7yd \end{gathered}`

Therefore the area is as follows:

`\begin{gathered} A_T=(1)/(2)(b* h) \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ A_T=(1)/(2)(7yd*24yd)=(1)/(2)(7*24)yd^2 \\ A_T=(1)/(2)(168)yd^2=84yd^2 \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ A_T=84yd^2 \end{gathered}`

Note! the units indeed are yd squared
