Question

Let's say we have a triangle with sides called a, b, and c, and that b is the base. Our triangle has a height that we'll call h. If a = 11 inches, and b = 3 inches, and c = 11 inches, and h = 10.89 inches, what is the area of this triangle in square inches? Round your answer to the nearest hundredths place. 16.3 16.34 21.9 21.89

Answer 1

16.34 square inches.

Explanation:

Given:

Base of triangle, b = 3 inches

Height of triangle, h = 10.89 inches

Question asked:

What is the area of this triangle in square inches?

Round your answer to the nearest hundredths place .

Solution:

As we know,

`Area\ of\ triangle =(1)/(2) * base* height`

`=(1)/(2) *3*10.89\\\\ =(32.67)/(2) \\\\ =16.335`

As, we have to find the answer to the nearest hundredths place, hence the area of triangle will be 16.34 square inches.
