Question

The area of the plane figure is measure of the amount of surface of the figure. Find the area of the figure to the right (The area of a triangle is 1/2 the product of its base and height.)

The area of the triangle is..?

Answer 1

The area is 0.047 if you use the formula and use 7/25*4/25 allover 2. Add me as a friend plz. I am great at math

Answer 2

The area of the triangle is
`(7)/(150)` square feet.

Explanation:

In this exercise we only need to recall the formula for the area of a triangle:

`A = (b\cdot h)/(2)`,

where
`b` stands for the base and
`h` stands for the height of the triangle.

In this particular case we have that the base is the segment with length 7/12 ft and the height is the segment with length 4/25 ft. So, once we have recognized the elements in the triangle, we only need to substitute the values. Thus,

`A = (b\cdot h)/(2) = ((7)/(12)\cdot (4)/(25))/(2)= ((7)/(75))/(2) = (7)/(150)`.
