Question

Find the area of a triangle that has a base of 4 1 /2 yd and a height of 3 1 /6 yd.

Answer 1

Your answer would be 7.125 yd² which is 7 1/8 yd²

Answer 2

For this we can use the area of a triangle formula:

area = 1/2 * base * height

And just substitute the values in:

area = 1/2 * 4.5 * 3.167
= 7.125 yd²
