Question

find the area of the triangle below be sure to include the correct unit in your answer. 8ft , 15ft , 17ft it's a right triangle

Answer 1

This is a right triangle so the hight if it will be 15 ft and the base will be 8ft, then we can use the formula of the areas that is:

`\frac{\text{base}\cdot\text{hight}}{2}=A`

so we replace the values like:

`\begin{gathered} (15\cdot8)/(2)=A \\ 60=A \end{gathered}`

So the area of the triangle is 60ft
