Compute the area of the following triangle. (Round answer to the nearest hundredth). b = 16.5 in. h = 7.5 in. Area = ? square inches
The area is 61.88 square inches. (Rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Answer:
Area of the triangle = 61.875 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula to calculate the area of a triangle is represented by \(A=\frac{1}{2}(Height)(Base)=\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)\)
Now we have to calculate the area of a triangle of which base b = 16.5 in and height h = 7.5 in.
Now we put the values in the formula
\(A=\frac{1}{2}(16.5)(7.5)=(8.25)(7.5)=61.875 in^{2}\)
Therefore answer is area of the triangle = 61.875 in²
