Answer:

124.8

Explanation:

The equation for the area of a triangle is base length (12) multiplied by the height length (10.4) divided by 2. Two of the same triangle create a rectangle, and by multiplying the base and the height you find this rectangle. To find the are of the triangle, you just need to remove the other triangle (divide by 2).

A=b*h/2
