Question

A triangular-shaped section of grass is shown.

8 yards
9 yards
Enter the area of the section of grass, in square yards.

Answer 1

36 square yards

Explanation:

The area of the triangle can be figured with the expression 1/2(b * h).

1/2(9 * 8)

Multiply 9 by 8 (operation in parentheses) to get 72.

1/2(72)

Then multiply 72 by 1/2 (which is the same as 72 divided by 2).

36 square yards

The area of this section of grass is 36 square yards.

Answer 2

area of triangle=base x height divide by 2
9 x 8 = 72
72 divide by 2 = 36
area = 36 square yards
