Question

What is the area of triangle ABC?The area of triangle ABC is___ in²

Answer 1

187.5 in^2

Explanation:

We know that the area of a triangle is equal to the base times the height divided by 2

In the figure we have these values

The base is 3 squares that is 15 inches and the height is 5 squares that is 25 inches since each square measures 5 inches

The area is

`A=(b\cdot h)/(2)=(15\cdot25)/(2)=(375)/(2)=187.5`

The area of the triangle is 187.5 square inches
