Question

Find the area of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the triangle WYX  = $\frac{35}{2}$ = 17$\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle WYX  is $\frac{1}{2}$*b*h

We need to find base (b) and height (h)

By counting from the drawing, the base which is horizontal is 7 and the height which is vertical is 5

The area of the triangle WYX  is $\frac{1}{2}$*b*h

The area of the triangle WYX  = $\frac{1}{2}$*7*5 = $\frac{35}{2}$ = 17$\frac{1}{2}$
