Question

What is the area, in square meters, of the figure below?

Answer 1

To Find :

• Area of triangle in attachment = ?

Solution :

By observing the diagram, we have :

• Base of triangle, b = 2.2 m
• Height of triangle, h = 0.5 m

Now, we know that :

`\large \underline{\boxed{\tt{Area_((triangle)) = (1)/(2) * base * height}}}`

So, by substituting values, Area of given triangle will be :

`\sf : \implies Area = (1)/(2) * 2.2\: m * 0.5\: m`

`\sf : \implies Area = \frac{1}{\cancel{2}} * \frac{\cancel{22}}{10} \: m * (5)/(10) \: m`

`\sf : \implies Area = 1 * (11)/(10) \: m * (5)/(10)\: m`

`\sf : \implies Area = (55)/(100) \: m^(2)`

`\sf : \implies Area = 0.55 \: m^(2)`

Hence, Area of given triangle is 0.55 m².

Answer 2

`0.55` square meters

Explanation:

The area of a triangle can be calculated by multiplying its height and base, then dividing the result by
`2`. As an algebraic expression, that would be
`(bh)/(2)`, where
`b` is the base and
`h` is the height. In this case,
`b=2.2` and
`h=0.5`. Therefore, the area of the triangle is:

`(bh)/(2)\\= (2.2*0.5)/(2)\\=(1.1)/(2) \\= 0.55`

Hope this helps!
