Question

Rachel’s earrings are in the shape of a triangle. The height of the earrings is 1 1/2 inches and the base is 3/5 inches. What is the area of both of Rachel’s earrings?
Formula: A=1/2bh

Formula: A=0.5 x b x h

Answer 1

Answer:

9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, 1 1/2 as a improper fraction is 3/2

Second, 3/2 x 3/5 = 9/10

Third, you need to do 9/10 x 2 since there are two earings which equals 18/10.

Fourth, 18/10 divided by 2 = 9/10 which means that the area of both earrings is 9/10

Hope this helps!
