What is the area of an equilateral triangle with sides of 10 inches and height of 7 inches?

A70 sq. in.
B20 sq. in.
C44 sq. in.
D35 sq. in

Verified Answer :

your answer is D. Because the area of a triangle is 1/2bh...10 is your base and 7 is your height ...7*10 =70 then divide by 2... the area is 35

Answer: D. \(35\ in^2\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Side of equilateral triangle = 10 inches

Height of equilateral triangle= 7  inches

We know that the area of triangle is given by :-

\(\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times7\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Area}=35\ in^2\)

Hence, the area of the given equilateral triangle =\(35\ in^2\)
