Question

Find the area of the triangle

Answer 1

The area of the triangle WYX =
`(35)/(2)` = 17
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

The area of the triangle WYX is
`(1)/(2)`*b*h

We need to find base (b) and height (h)

By counting from the drawing, the base which is horizontal is 7 and the height which is vertical is 5

The area of the triangle WYX is
`(1)/(2)`*b*h

The area of the triangle WYX =
`(1)/(2)`*7*5 =
`(35)/(2)` = 17
`(1)/(2)`
