Question

Find the area of the triangle having the given measurements: B = 25°, a = 1 yard, c = 5 yards.

a. 0.5 square yards
b. 1.0 square yards
c. 1.5 square yards
d. 2.0 square yards

Answer 1

The area of the triangle is 2.5 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is given by:

Area = 0.5 × base × height

Given that the base (a) is 1 yard and the height (c) is 5 yards, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Area = 0.5 × 1 yard × 5 yards = 2.5 square yards

Therefore, the answer is 2.5 square yards (option d).
