The area of the countertop is (16-ft x 3-ft) = 48 feet² .
1 foot = 0.3048 meter (rounded)
(1 foot)² = (0.3048 meter)² = 0.0929 meter²
48 feet² = (48 x 0.0929) = 4.459 meter² (rounded)
The large triangle is an isosceles since both angles at the base each equal 42°.
In an isosceles triangle the altitude z is at the same time median , then it bisects the opposite side in the middle . So w = 120/2 = 60
Now let's calculate z:
tan 42° = (opposite side) / (adjacent side) = z/60
tan 42° = 0.9,
0.9 = z/60 and z = 54
The area of the triangle PQR is 108 square units
<h3>How to determine the area of the triangle?</h3>
The given parameters are:
- Height, h = 12 units
- Base, b = 18 units
The area is then calculated using:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
So, we have:
Area = 0.5 * 18 * 12
Evaluate
Area = 108
Hence, the area of the triangle PQR is 108 square units
