Question

The new club sticker is in the shape of a triangle. It has a height of 8 inches and a base of 10 inches. The area of the club sticker is ____ square inches.

Answer 1

Answer:

40 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the new club sticker is in the shape of a triangle.

Height of triangle = 8 inches

Base of triangle = 10 inches

We need to find the area of sticker.

Area of triangle $=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base \times height$

Substitute base = 10 and height = 8 in the above formula.

Area of triangle $=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times 8$

Area of triangle $=\dfrac{80}{2}$

Area of triangle $=40$

Therefore, the area of the club sticker is 40 square inches.
