Question

1. Area or A = bh/2, with b = base and h = height. Remember Area is in square cm or cm^2. a. Find A if b = 36, h = 12 b. Find A if b = 13.8, and h = 9.5 c. Find bif A = 32, and h = 4.

Answer 1

Based on the given values of b and h, you obtain:

a.

A = (36)(12)/2

A = 216

b.

A = (13.8)(9.5)/2

A = 65.55

c.

In this case solve the equation A=bh/2 for b, as follow:

b = 2A/h

b = 2(32)/4

b = 16
