Question

Evaluate ab/2 when a is 6 ft and b is 8 ft

Answer 1

Given the expression:

`(ab)/(2)`

we have that when a=6ft and b=8ft, then:

`\begin{gathered} a=6ft \\ b=8ft \\ \Rightarrow(a\cdot b)/(2)=((6ft)(8ft))/(2)=(48ft^2)/(2)=24ft^2 \end{gathered}`

therefore, the result of the evaluated expression is 24ft^2
