Question

What is the area of the triangle? 15.4 ft 6.4 ft

Answer 1

SOLUTION

The triangle in the picture has a base b of 10 ft and a perpendicular height h of 6.4 ft.

Area of a triangle is given as

$\begin{gathered} Area=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times6.4 \\ A=5\times6.4 \\ A=32\text{ ft}^2 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 32 square feet
