Question

Find the area. See image below.

Answer 1

`\red{530 \: {in}^(2) }`

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of a triangle is:

`Area = base * height`

Let us find it now.

Area = 1/2 × base × height

Area = 1/2 × 26.5 in × 40 in

Area = 530 in^2

Answer 2

530 in ^2

Explanation:

The figure given is a triangle

We use the formula for the area of a triangle

A = 1/2 bh where b is the length of the base and h is the height

The height is perpendicular to the base( at 90 degrees)

A = 1/2 ( 26.5) * ( 40)

= 530 in ^2
