Question

8. Find the area of the triangle. (1 point) 16 ft 62 ft Not drawn to scale. ​

Answer 1

A - 496

Explanation:

formula for area of a triangle

`a = (bh)/(2)`

where b = base length and h = height

The triangle shown has a base length of 62 ft and a height of 16 ft

That being said we plug in the given values into the formula

`a = (62 * 16)/(2) \\ 62 * 16 = 992 \\ (992)/(2) = 496`

Hence the area of the triangle is 496 square feet

Answer 2

Hello! Answer: 496

Explanation:

When finding area for triangles we have to do base x height then divide by 2 so

62 x 16 = 992

992 ÷ 2 = 496

So 496 is our answer!
