Question

Last minute help me out please and thank you

Answer 1

5.06 in^2

Explanation:

Triangle Area: (b*h)/2

4 1/2=9/2

9/2=4.5

2 1/4=9/4

9/4=2.25

4.5*2.25=10.125

10.125/2=5.0625

5.0625 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 5.06

Answer 2

Area = 5.06 in²

Explanation:

Area of a triangle is given by

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

Where

b is the base of the triangle

h is the height

From the question

`base = 4 (1)/(2) \: in = (9)/(2) \: in \\ \\ height = 2 (1)/(4) \: in \: = (9)/(4) \: in`

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the area

We have

`A = (1)/(2) * (9)/(2) * (9)/(4) = (81)/(16) \\ = 5.0625`

We have the final answer as

Area = 5.06 in² to the nearest hundredth

Hope this helps you
