Question

Find The Area in Yard. Round to the nearest tenth place.3ft 3.6ft

Answer 1

The area of a triangle is equal to

`A=(1)/(2)\cdot b\cdot h`

we have

b=12 ft

h=3.6 ft

Remember that

1 yd = 3ft

so

Convert feet to yards

12 ft=12/3=4 yd

3.6 ft=3.6/3=1.2 yd

substitute in the formula of area

`\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)\cdot4\cdot1.2 \\ A=2.4\text{ yd2} \end{gathered}`

The area is 2.4 square yards
