Question

Given the base band height hof a triangle, calculate the area A using the formula for the area of a triangle: A = 1/2 bh Calculate A when b 17 feet and h = 6 feet. what is the answer

Answer 1

The area of the triangle of base (b) and a height (h) is A

`A=(1)/(2)\cdot b\cdot h`

Given: b = 17 feet and h = 6 feet

So, the area will be :

`A=(1)/(2)\cdot17\cdot6=17\cdot3=51ft^2`

so, the answer is : the area of the triangle = 51 square feet.
