Find the area of the triangle if each side is 5 inches.

Question 1

Question 2

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\textsf{The formula to finding the area of a regular triangle is}\rightarrow\mathsf{(1)/(2)* \bold{b}ase*\bold{h}eight}$

$\textsf{Assuming that your equation should look like}\rightarrow\mathtt{(1)/(2)* 5*5}$

$\textsf{If so, then let's solve for your equation, shall we? }$

$\mathtt{(1)/(2)* 5*5}$

$\mathtt{= (1)/(2)* (5)/(1)*(5)/(1)}$

$\mathtt{= (1*5*5)/(2*1*1)}$

$\mathtt{= (5*5)/(2*1)}$

$\mathtt{= (25)/(2)}$

$\mathtt{= 12(1)/(2)\approx 12.5}$

$\huge\text{Therefore your answer should probably be: }\\\\\huge\boxed{\mathtt{12(1)/(2)in^2\ or\ (25)/(2)in^2\ or\ 12.5in^2}}\huge\checkmark$

$\large\text{Either of those SHOULD work because they are all equivalent to}\\\large\text{to each other!}$

$\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}$
