Question

Hey! So far, I have did A= 1/2 (bh)A = (54 + 60) A = 1/2 (54 + 60) [the part where I got confused]A= (114) A= 57in

Answer 1

The area of the triangle can be computed using the equation

`A=(1)/(2)bh`

The base and height of the triangle are given in the problem. We just substitute it on the equation above and calculate, getting:

`\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)(54*60) \\ A=(1)/(2)(3240)_{} \\ A=1620in^2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 1620 square inches.

Answer: The area is 1620 square inches
