Question

What is the area in square inches of the shape below. 3.9 in. 9.6 in. HELP QUICK

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} {\underline{\boxed{ \rm {\red{Area \: of \: triangle \: = \: (1)/(2) \: * \: base \: * \: height }}}}}\end{gathered}`

• Base = 9.6 in
• Height = 3.9 in

`\rm \large \longrightarrow \: Area \: of \: triangle \: = \: (1)/(2) \: * \: 9.6 \:in \: * \: 3.9 \: in`

`\rm \large \longrightarrow \: Area \: of \: triangle \: = \: (1)/(2) \: * \: 37.44 \: {inches}^(2)`

`\rm \large \longrightarrow \: Area \: of \: triangle \: = \: (1)/( \cancel2) \: * \: \cancel{37.44} \: {inches}^(2) \: \: ^{\bf{\red{ 18.72 \: {inches}^(2) }}}`

`\rm \large \longrightarrow \: Area \: of \: triangle \: = \: 18.72 \: {inches}^(2)`
