Question

What is the area, in square feet, of the shape below?

Answer 1

Answer:

17.4 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the area of a triangle:

1/2 x b x h, where b is the base and h is the height.

1) Substitute the given values into the formula and solve it.

= 1/2 x 6 x 5.8

= 1/2 x 34.8

= 17.4

Answer 2

Answer:

Area= 17.4 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the area of any triangle is given by: A = $\frac{b*h}{2}$

where A: area of the triangle

           b: base of the triangle

           h: height of the triangle

in this figure we have:

b= 6ft

h= 5.8ft

A= $\frac{6 * 5.8}{2}$ = $\frac{34.8}{2}$=17.4 ft²
