Question

What is the area of a triangle that has a base of 4 feet and a height of 4 feet? 2ft sq 4ft sq 8ft sq 16ft sq

Answer 1

Answer:

Third option: $8\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle can be calculated with the following formula:

$A=\frac{bh}{2}$

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height of the triangle.

In this case you know that this triangle has a base of 4 feet and a height of 4 feet, then:

$b=4\ ft\\h=4\ ft$

Therefore, you can substitute these values into the formula, getting that the area of this triangle is:

$A=\frac{(4\ ft)(4\ ft)}{2}\\\\A=8\ ft^2$

Answer 2

Answer:

8ft sq is your area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the area of a triangle by using the following equation:

Area (of a triangle) = 1/2(base * height)

Note:

Height = 4 feet

Base = 4 feet

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables.

Area = 1/2(base * height)

Area = 1/2(4 * 4)

Solve. Follow PEMDAS. First, solve the parenthesis, then divide:

Area = 1/2(4 * 4)

Area = 1/2(16)

Area = 16/2

Area = 8

8ft sq is your area.
