Question

Can someone help me with this

Answer 1

Hello! Please mark Brainliest for the explanation!

Answer:

Area: 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

As the paper itself states, the area of a triangle would be

1/2bh

Simply plug the given values in!

1/2(5)(4) =

1/2(20)=

10

Have a wonderful day!

Answer 2

Answer:

Area  = 10 units

Skills needed: Triangle Theory, Substitution of Values

Step-by-step explanation:

1) We are given that the formula to finding the area of the triangle is $\frac{1}{2}bh$.... this essentially means that it is:  $\frac{1}{2}$ times base (b) times height (h)

2) We can then use substitution to solve this. IN the diagram shown there, 4 is the base, and the height is 5 (since b = base, and h = height).

Area is $\frac{1}{2} * b * h$ in general (the * means multiplication)

Substitute in the values and it is: $\frac{1}{2} * 4 * 5$

--> $4*5=20$

--> $\frac{1}{2} * 4*5 = \frac{1}{2} * 20 = 10$

1/2 of 20 is ten, so that is how we arrive at that final answer.

Hope you understand, have a great day :)
