Question

If d = 10 inches, c = 9 inches, b = 6 inches, and h = 5 inches, what is the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

1) We can calculate the area of a triangle, according to this formula:

Assuming the base is d =10 and the height is 5 inches we can write

`\begin{gathered} A\text{ =}(bh)/(2) \\ A\text{ =}(10\cdot5)/(2) \\ A=(50)/(2) \\ A=25in^2 \end{gathered}`

2) So the area of the triangle is 25 in²
