Question

I was confused on how to go about this.

Find the area of the triangle.

Answer 1

A = 14 m^2

Explanation:

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

`A=(1)/(2)bh`

For this we need the base and the height. Looking at the picture, we can see that the height is 4. The base is split into 2 parts, so we just need to add the 3 and the 4 together, that will make our base 7. Now we can plug these into the equation, but I'm also just going to make the 1/2 a 0.5.

`A=0.5*4*7`

`A=`

14 m^2
