Given:

A triangle with a base length of 22 ft and a height of 20 ft.

To find:

The area of the given triangle.

Solution:

The area of a triangle is obtained by multiplying
(1)/(2) with its base length and its height.

The area of a triangle
= (1)/(2) (b)(h).

The height is the distance from the base to the highest point on the triangle and the length of the base is the base length.

The given triangle has a base length of 22 ft and a height of 20 ft.

The area of the triangle
= (1)/(2) (b)(h) = (1)/(2) (22)(20).


(1)/(2) (22)(20) = (1)/(2) (440) = 220 ft².

The given triangle has an area of 220 ft².
