.Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for the area of the triangle:
1/2 bh
b = base
h = height
#6.
Area = 36 in²
Base = 18 in
36 = 1/2(18)h
36 = 9h
36 ÷ 9 = h
4 = h
height = 4 in
#7.
Area = 2 ft²
Height = 1 ft
2 = 1/2 b (1)
2 = 1/2 b
2 ÷ 1/2 = b
4 = b
Base = 4 ft
#8.
Area = 42 in²
Base = 12 in
42 = 1/2 (12) h
42 = 6h
42 ÷ 6 = h
7 = h
Height = 7 in
Notice that the answers have no exponents (²). That is because they are used only on the area of shapes as units.
Since you find the area by multiplying things together, for example x · x = x², the exponent is there.
You do not need to worry about this being in the calculation. This will just be in units such as:
cm²
ft²
in²
m²
Just remember to use these exponents in the units for the areas.
The last one is the correct one.

Answer:
The correct option is B
(-1)(1/2)(-1)(1)
Step-by-step explanation:
First thing to notice is that there is are two brackets with negative values, which means that the result must also be positive (or have two brackets with negative values).
Looking at the options, we can screen out options A and D, they have three brackets with negative values, and can't be chosen.
It is now between options B and C.
Option B, by inspection is simply 1/2
Option C is 12/4 = 3
The problem itself is 12/35
12/24 = 1/2
12/36 = 1/3
Since 12/35 is about 1/3, it is closer to 1/2 than 3, so 1/2 is the best option.
