Question

Find the area of the triangle below show as much work as possible leave your answer is appropriately. area of triangle equals 1/2 BH

Answer 1

The area of the triangle is $\frac{5}{12}x^2$

Explanation:

Given that the base of the triangle is $\frac{5}{6}x$

The height of the triangle is x

We need to determine the area of the triangle

Area of the triangle can be determined using the formula,

$Area=\frac{1}{2} b h$

Substituting the values $b=\frac{5}{6}x$ and $h=x$, we get,

$Area=\frac{1}{2} (\frac{5}{6} x)x$

Multiplying the terms, we get,

$Area =\frac{5}{12}x^2$

Thus, the area of the triangle is $\frac{5}{12}x^2$
