Question

An architect is designing a building on a triangular plot of land. If the base of the triangle is 100.8 feet and the height is 96.3 feet, find the available floor area of the building. Show all of your work

Answer 1

A=bh/2, which means that you multiply the base (100.8 ft.) by the height (96.3 ft.) and you take that answer and divide it by 2.

A=4853.52

Answer 2

4853.52

Explanation:

The base of a triangle=100.8 feet

Height of a triangle=96.3 feet

Area of triangle=
`(1)/(2)`×base×height

Area of a triangle=
`(1)/(2)`×100.8×96.3
`feet^(2)`

Hence, Area of a triangle=4853.52
`ft^(2)`
