Question

Daisy is making an abstract painting with two triangles. The dimensions of the painting are shown below:

Answer 1

The area of a triangle can be found by multiplying the base and the height, and dividing the product by 2.

So, 10*8=80

80/2=40 in^2

Then, the triangle on the left:

10*12=120

120/2=60 in^2

Add up the areas

40 in^2+60 in^2=100 in^2
