Question

Find the area. The figure is not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

28.5ft²

Explanation:

The figure above is a triangle. The formula for finding the area of a triangle is expressed as:

Area of a ∆ = 1/2 × base × height

Given the base of the triangle = 19ft

Height = 3ft

Area of the triangle = 1/2 × 19 × 3

Area of the triangle = 57/2

Area of the triangle = 28.5ft²

Answer 2

area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height

base = 19

height = 3

19 *3 = 57

1/2 x 57 = 28.5 square ft.
