Question

The base of a triangle is 4/4 meters. The height of the triangle is 250 centimeters. What is the area of the triangle in square meters?

Answer 1

We have the following triangle

the area of a triangle is given by

$A=\frac{h\cdot b}{2}$

then, we have

height h = 250 cm = 2.5 m

base b = 4.4 m

$A=\frac{2.5\cdot4.4}{2}=\frac{11}{2}=5.5$

Thus, the area is 5.5 square meters
