Question

Find the area of the triangle below.
Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.
65 yd
13 yd
18 yd

Answer 1

Answer:

The area is  

$72yd^{2}$

(square yards)

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

In the given triangle a base  24 y d  and the corresponding height  6 y d

is given, so to calculate the area we can use:

A = 1 2× b × h

If we substitute thegiven numbers we get:

A = 1 2 × 24 × 6 = 12 × 6= 72

The units of base and height are the same (yards), so the calculated area is in  y d 2  (square yards)

Answer: The area of the given triangle is  72 square yards.
