A sign company is building a sign with the dimensions shown.

What is the area of the sign? Question 4 options:

A. 60 square feet
B. 240 square feet
C. 120 square feet
D. 260 square feet

Answer 1

TLDR: Your answer is D. 260 square feet.

To find the area of a triangle, you must use the formula "1/2 B ⋅ H."

In this problem, your values are the following:

B = 20

H = 26

Now, you just plug these values in and solve.

1/2 (20) ⋅ 26 > 10 ⋅ 26 = 260 ft
