Question

Choose the algebraic expression that represents the area of a triangle that has a base 4 inches less than 5 times wider than the height.

a (1/2)(5h)(h – 4)
b (1/2)(5b + 4)(b)
c (1/2)(5h – 4)(h)

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

i had this same question a while ago

Answer 2

c (1/2)(5h – 4)(h)

Explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

Let

Height of the triangle = h

Base 4 inches less than 5 times wider than the height.

Base of the triangle = 5h - 4

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

= (1/2)(5h-4)(h)

The algebraic expression that represents the area of a triangle that has a base 4 inches less than 5 times wider than the height is (1/2)(5h-4)(h)

Option C is the correct answer
