Question

What is the area of the triangle

Answer 1

Area is base x height divide by 2
5 in x 1 ft = 5 ft in
divide by 2 is 2.5 ft in

Answer 2

Answer:

30 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a RIGHT triangle is:

$A= \frac{ab}{2}$

We are given..

• a = 5 inches
• b = 1 foot = 12 inches

Therefore...

$A = \frac{5(12)}{2}$

$A=\frac{60}{2}$

$A = 30$
