Question

What is the area of AABC?

Answer 1

A. 64 square units

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is denoted by: A = (1/2) * bh, where b is the base and h is the perpendicular height to the base.

Here, we can say that side AB is the base with length 10, while the perpendicular segment extending from C to AB with length 12.8 is the height. Then, plug these in:

A = (1/2) * bh

A = (1/2) * 10 * 12.8 = 5 * 12.8 = 64

The answer is thus 64 square units, or A.

Answer 2

64 square units

Explanation:

`A(\triangle ABC) = (1)/(2) * base * height \\ \\ = (1)/(2) * 10 * \: 12.8 \\ \\ = 5 * 12.8 \\ \\ = 64 \: square \: units`
