Question

(05.01 LC) which equation can be used to calculate the area of the shaded triangle below? A. 2(10+6) = 32

B.1 over 2(10 +6) = 8
C. 1 over 2(10 x 6) = 30
D. 2(10 x 6) = 120

Answer 1

(c) 1/2(10×6) = 30

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is ...

A = 1/2bh

The shaded triangle has a base of 10 feet and a height of 6 feet. Using these numbers in the formula, the area in square feet is ...

A = 1/2(10×6) = 30 . . . . square feet

This expression matches the 3rd choice.
