Answer:

1/2 ft²

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by the formula ...

A = 1/2bh

where 'b' is the length of any side (the "base"), and 'h' is the perpendicular distance from that side to the opposite vertex.

__

In this drawing, b = 3/2 ft and h = 2/3 ft. To find the area, put these values in the formula and simplify the result.

A = 1/2(3/2 ft)(2/3 ft) = (3/4 ft)(2/3 ft) = (2/4) ft² = 1/2 ft²

The area of the triangle is 1/2 ft².

__

Here, we have put the units in the formula along with the numbers. The product (ft)(ft) is ft², the same way (x)(x) = x². The fractions are multiplied in the usual way: (a/b)(c/d) = (ac)/(bd).
