criangle.
10 in
17 in

Answer 1

base x height / 2

I'm guessing 10 and 17 are the base and height

10 x 17 = 170

170 / 2 = 85

85 is the area

Hope this helps

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\Huge\boxed{85}`

To find the area of a triangle, we can use the formula:
`A=(h_bb)/(2)`

Now, we know the formula, let's do the math.

The base is 10 and the height is 17, so according to the formula, multiply the Base × Height then divide by 2.

10 times 17 is 170. Remember to divide it by 2.

170 divided by 2 is 85.

Hence, your answer is 85 in.
