Question

What is the area of the figure? The figure is not drawn to scale.thank you ! :)

Answer 1

Solution

- The formula for finding the area of a triangle is given below:

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h \\ where, \\ b=\text{ The base of the triangle} \\ h=\text{ The perpendicular height} \end{gathered}$

- We have been given:

$\begin{gathered} b=5.4cm \\ h=2cm \end{gathered}$

- Therefore, we can find the area as follows:

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\times2cm\times5.4cm \\ \\ \therefore A=5.4cm^2 \end{gathered}$

Final Answer

The area is 5.4cm²
