Question

Help! What is the area of each shape?

Answer 1

Answer:

27.84 m² , 42.48 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Shape A

has b = 9.6 and h = 5.8, then

A = 0.5 × 9.6 × 5.8 = 27.84 m²

Shape B

has b = 11.8 and h = 7.2 , then

A = 0.5 × 11.8 × 7.2 = 42.48 m²

Answer 2

Answer:

Shape A = 55.68

Shape B = 79.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Shape A work : $9.6$ x $5.8$ = 55.68

Shape b work :  11 x 7.2 = 79.2

Hope this helps!
