Question

Find the area of the triangle below. Be sure to include he correct unit answer.

PLEASE HELP ME!

Answer 1

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=\dfrac{1}{2}bh$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=\dfrac{1}{2}(5)(17)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=\dfrac{85}{2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=42.5yd^2$

Answer 2

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}$

• Find the area of the triangle below. Be sure to include the correct unit answer.

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Explanation} \downarrow}$

• To find the area of the triangle we need to know the formula, which is ⇨
• $\large \sf \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h$
• Base of the ∆ ⇨ 17 yd
• Height of the ∆ ⇨ 5 yd

Now, let's find the area of the triangle given.

$\large \sf \: \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h \\ \large \sf \: = \frac{1}{2} \times 17 \times 5 \\ \large \sf \: = \frac{1}{2} \times 85 \\ = \large \boxed{\bf \: 42.5 \: {yd}^{2} }$

• Be sure to include the unit yd² so that you don't lose your mark ツ.
