Question

A triangular road sign has a base of 30 inches and a height of 40 inches. What is it’s area?

Answer 1

600ft

Explanation:

Because a triangle is half of a rectangle, the area can be found by taking the base times height and dividing by 2.

A = (b * h)/2

A = (40 * 30)/2

A = 1200/2

A = 600ft
