Answer:

5/8 ft²

Explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height

Base = 5/3 ft

Height = 3/4 ft

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height

= 1/2 * 5/3 ft * 3/4 ft

Multiply numerator separately and denominator separately

= (1 * 5 * 3) / (2 * 3 * 4) ft²

= 15/24 ft²

= 5/8 ft²

Area of a triangle = 5/8 ft²
