Question

What is the area of an equilateral triangle with sides of 10 inches and height of 7 inches?

Answer 1

Your answer is D. Because the area of a triangle is 1/2bh...10 is your base and 7 is your height ...7*10 =70 then divide by 2... the area is 35

Answer 2

Answer: D. $35\ in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Side of equilateral triangle = 10 inches

Height of equilateral triangle= 7  inches

We know that the area of triangle is given by :-

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times7\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Area}=35\ in^2$

Hence, the area of the given equilateral triangle =$35\ in^2$
