Question

Amy needs to order a shade for a triangular-shaped window that has a base of 6 feet and a height of 8 feet. What is the area of the shade? The area of the shade is ft2.

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

A triangle is a three sided polygon with three edges and three vertices

There are different types of triangles. They include :

• Right angled triangle - one of the angles measure 90 degrees
• equilateral triangle - all three sides of the triangle are equal
• isosceles triangle - two sides of the triangle are equal

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x ( base x height)

1/2 x (6 x 8) = 24 ft²
