Question

The base of a triangle is 7/3 yd and the height is 1/2 yd . Find the area. Leave your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

So remember that the area of a triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$ . Using this info, we can make the equation $A=\frac{1}{2} *\frac{7}{3} *\frac{1}{2}$

All you need to do is multiply everything, and your answer will be $A=\frac{7}{12}$

In short, the area is 7/12 yds^2
