Question

Find the area of each triangle Base 5ft height 2 1/3 ft

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 5 $\frac{5}{6}$ ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh ( b is the base and h the height ) , then

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 5 × 2 $\frac{1}{3}$ ← convert to improper fraction

   = $\frac{5}{2}$ × $\frac{7}{3}$

   = $\frac{5(7)}{2(3)}$

   = $\frac{35}{6}$

   = 5 $\frac{5}{6}$ ft²
