Question

Estimate the area of a triangle with a base of 4.23 inches and a height of 7.8 inches.A) 16 in^2B) 32 in^2C) 14 in^2D) 28 in^2

Answer 1

Formula of area of a triangle ( A ):

`A=(b\cdot h)/(2)`

where b is the base and h is the height.

Procedure:

0. Replacing the values given

`A=(4.23\cdot7.8)/(2)`

2. Simplifying

`A=(32.99)/(2)`
`A\approx16.50`

Answer: A) 16 in^2
