Question

The cake drawing of a field shape of a triangle is shown below...what is the actual area,in square meters ,of this field

Answer 1

70 m^2.

Explanation:

Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height.

Counting the squares on the coordinate plane:

Base = 7, height = 5

Each square = 2 meters

So the area = 1/2 * 14 * 10

= 70m
