Question

A figure is made up of four triangles. Each triangle has a baseof 13 inches and a height of 8.2 inches. What is the total area ofthe figure?

Answer 1

We need to find first the area of one triangle, and that area is equal to

`A=(b\cdot h)/(2)=(13\cdot8.2)/(2)=53.3`

Now the total area of the figure is 213.2 inches^2

`A_T=4\cdot A=4\cdot53.3=213.2`
