Question

The front face of Jamal's roof is shaped

like a triangle. It has a base of 97.2 feet
and a height of 17.25 feet. Jamal's
neighbor's roof has an area of 942 square
feet. What is the difference in area
between Jamal's roof and his neighbor's?

Answer 1

Answer: 103.65 square feet

Explanation:

To find Jamal’s roof area: 97.2 x 17.25 = 1,676.7. Divide by two because it’s a triangle (gets you to 838.35).

Subtract 838.35 from neighbors roof area (gives you 103.65)
