Answer: The area of the triangle is 180 square inches
Step-by-step explanation: The question gives us a triangle with the dimensions as
Base = 2 feet
Height = 15 inches
However the answer should be expressed in inches, which means we have to convert the measurements in feet to inches. Remember that 12 inches make one foot. Therefore, two feet would simply be
12 x 2
= 24 inches
With the dimensions now given as
Base = 24 inches
Height = 15 inches
Area of the triangle = ½B x H
Area of the triangle = ½ x 24 x 15
Area of the triangle = 12 x 15
Area of the triangle = 180 square inches
