Answer 1

75 square inches

Explanation:

Area of a Triangle = 1/2 × Base × Height

From the above question:

Base = 30 Inches

Height = 5 inches

Hence:

Area = 1/2 × 30 in × 5 in

Area = 75 square inches

Therefore, the area of one of the triangular pieces of wood that she needs to build the ramp is 75 square inches
