Answer:

d) 73 m

Explanation:

From the Question, we are told that:

Maya is finding the area of the shaded triangle below.

A triangle has a base of 73 meters and a height of 10 meters.

If she considers 10 m to be the height of the triangle, what should she use as the triangle’s base?

The area of a triangle = 1/2 × Base × Height

We are already told the base of the triangle from the question and this is 73 m

Option D, 73 m is the correct answer
