You charge $2 per square yard to paint.Which equation can you solve to find the amount you will charge to paint a triangular wall with a base of 4 yards and a height of 6 yards?

Answer 1

Answer: $24

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a triangle is 1/2 times base times height

so 0.5 x 4 x 6

0.5 x 4 = 2

2 x 6 = 12

12 x $2 = 24

so you charge $24 dollars

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

2(1/2 x 4 x 6) = x

expaination:

area of triangle = 1/2 x 2 x 6 sq yards

multiply by $2/sq yard
