Question

Find the area of a triangle with base 13 ft. and height 6 ft.

Answer 1

The area of a triangle is given by the formula

`Area=(1)/(2)* base* height`

From the question we have been given the base as 13 and the height as 6.

So we will substitute base for 13 and height for 6 into the formula, we have

`\begin{gathered} Area=(1)/(2)*13*6 \\ 6\text{ divides 2, we have 3, this becomes } \\ Area=1*13*3 \\ Area=39ft^2 \end{gathered}`

Hence the answer is 39 square-feet
