Question

a triangle has a base of 15 inches and the height of 11 inches . What is the area of the triangle using the formula A= 1/2 bh

Answer 1

Just apply the dimensions to the formula to solve for the area.

Area = 1/2bh , b = 15 in, h = 11 in

Area = 1/2(15)(11) = 82.5 in²

answer: 82.5 in²

Answer 2

82.5

Explanation:

15 x 11 = 165

165 x 1/2 = 82.5
