Question

d. 36 sq m The area of a triangle-shaped piece of wood with a base of 12 inches and a height of 2.1 inches is

Answer 1

Given:

Base of the triangle, b = 12 inches

Height of triangle, h = 2.1 inches

To find the area of the triangle, use the formula below:

`A=(1)/(2)\ast b\ast h`

Thus, we have:

`\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)\ast12\ast2.1 \\ \\ A=6\ast2.1=12.6\text{ square inches} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the area of the triangle-shaped piece of wood is 12.6 square inches.

ANSWER:

12.6 sq. inches
