36 ft2
56 ft2
90 ft2
180 ft2

Answer 1

The answer for Area is 66ft²

Explanation:

A=1/2bh

A=1/2×7×16

A=7×8

A=56ft²

Answer 2

The area of a right triangle is given by the formula:

Area = (1/2) x base x height

Substituting the given values, we get:

Area = (1/2) x 7 ft x 16 ft
Area = 56 ft^2

Therefore, the area of the right triangle with a base of 7 feet and a height of 16 feet is 56 ft^2. So the correct answer is option B.
