Question

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 5ft and a height of 8.4ft?

Answer 1

To answer this question, we need to remember the formula for finding the area of a triangle:

`A_{\text{triangle}}=(b\cdot h)/(2)`

Where

• b is the base of the triangle

,

• h is the height of the triangle

Then, we have that:

b = 5ft

h = 8.4ft

Then, we have:

`A_{\text{triangle}}=(5ft\cdot8.4ft)/(2)=(42ft^2)/(2)\Rightarrow A_(triangle)=21ft^2`

Therefore, the area of this triangle is equal to 21 sq. feet.
