Question

The area A of a triangle with base b and height h is given by A = = bh. Find the area when b = 18 m (meters) and h = 30 m.

The area is m?

Answer 1

`Area = 270m^2`

Explanation:

Given

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

`b = 18m`

`h = 30m`

Required

Solve for A

Simply substitute 18 for b and 30 for h

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

`A = (1)/(2) * 18 * 30`

`A = 270`

Hence:

The area is

`Area = 270m^2`
