Question

What is the area of a triangle that has a

base of 15 1/4 in. and a height of 18 in.?

PLS I NEED HELP ASAP
Thank youuuuuu

Answer 1

To find the area of the triangle

⇒ must know the area of the triangle's formula

⇒
`(1)/(2) *base*height`

Let's look at the information given:

• base length ⇒
  `15(1)/(4)` in ⇒
  `(61)/(4)` (when converted into an improper fraction)
• height length ⇒ 18 in

Let's solve:

`Area=(1)/(2) *base*height=(1)/(2) *(61)/(4) *18 = 137.55in^2`

Thus the area is 137.55 square inches

Hope that helps!
