What is the area, in square feet, of the shape below? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
1 answer:
Answer:
5/8 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height
Base = 5/3 ft
Height = 3/4 ft
Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height
= 1/2 * 5/3 ft * 3/4 ft
Multiply numerator separately and denominator separately
= (1 * 5 * 3) / (2 * 3 * 4) ft²
= 15/24 ft²
= 5/8 ft²
Area of a triangle = 5/8 ft²
