Question

Ashley drew the triangle LMN on the grid below


What is the area of triangle LMN?

Answer 1

B. 27 square units

Explanation:

Area of ∆LMN = ½(base*height)

base = MN = 6 units

height = distance from L to MN = 9 units

Plug in the values into the formula

Area of ∆LMN = ½(6*9)

Area = ½(54)

Area = 27 square units
