Question

A triangle has a base of 4.2 meters and a height of 2.5 meters. What is the area?

Answer 1

Answer:

$A = 5.25\frac{}{} \frac{}{}m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle can be determined by the formula:

$A = \frac{1}{2}bh$    (We are given that the base is 4.2m and the height is 2.5m)

$A = \frac{1}{2}*(4.2)*(2.5)$    (Simplify)

$A = 5.25\frac{}{} \frac{}{}m^2$

Answer 2

Answer:

5.25 $meters^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

A = $\frac{base * height}{2}$

A = $\frac{4.2 * 2.5}{2}$

A = 5.25
