A project requires you to figure out the area of a triangular lot. You take measurements and find that the lot has a base of 32 ft., while the altitude of the triangle, or height is 24 ft. What's the area of this lot?

Answer 1

We are asked to find the area of the given triangle with a base of 32ft and a height of 24ft.

Area of a triangle, A=(1/2)bh, where b is the base and h is the height.

Plug in the given information:

A=(1/2)(32)(24)

=> A=384 ft^2
