Question

A right triangle has a height of 27 inches

Answer 1

405 In^2

The formula for area of a triangle is 1/2Bh. One half of the area of the base times height, because base times height is a square and triangles are half a square. Let's solve for the area now.

A=1/2Bh

Plug in our information

A=1/2(30)(27)

Multiply parentheses.

A=1/2(810)

Multiply by 1/2 or divide by two.

A=405


The area of the triangle is 405 inches squared.

Answer 2

Answer:

405 $inches^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ Base * Height

$\frac{1}{2}$ * 30* 27 = 405 $inches^{2}$
