Question

Trig please help.

Answer 1

Answer:

24 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by the following formula:

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

where:

A is the area

b is the base of the triangle

h is the height

In this problem, the 1st triangle has:

b = 6 is the base

h = 8 is the height

Therefore, the area of the triangle is:

$A_1=\frac{1}{2}(6)(8)=24$

The second triangle of this problem has instead:

b = 8 is the base

h = 10 is the height

Therefore, the area of the triangle is:

$A_2=\frac{1}{2}(8)(10)=40$
