Question

Which expression represents the area of the shaded triangle?

Answer 1

The answer is most likely to be the first one.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. $\frac{1}{2}\times (5.7)\times (1.9)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of a triangle. We are asked to choose the correct option that represents the area of the shaded region.

We know that the area of a triangle is half the product of its height and base.

Upon looking at our given diagram we can that shaded region is in form of triangle and the height of both triangles is 5.7 meters. We can also see that the base of shaded triangle is 1.9 meters.

$\text{Area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}\times (\text{Height *Base})$

$\text{Area of shaded region}=\frac{1}{2}\times (5.7)\times (1.9)$

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
