Question

Find the area of a triangle that has a base of 5 in and a height of 3 3/4 in

Answer 1

`Area= (bh)/(2) \\ \\ 5*3.75=18.75 \\ \\ (18.75)/(2) = 9.375 \\\\\boxed{9.375}`

Answer 2

Remember:


`3(3)/(4)=(15)/(4)`

Area of a triangle


`A=(1)/(2).b.h\\ \\ A=(1)/(2)*5*(15)/(4)=(75)/(8)=9(3)/(8) \ in^2`
