how could I gee t the answer to triangle:base=13.5 in., height=6.4 in.
you multiply the base by the height then divide your answer by two. so your answer would be 43.2
The area of a triangle is explained by \(A_{triangle}=\frac{1}{2}base*height\)
So if you plug in the given values:
\(A_{triangle}=\frac{1}{2}13.5*6.4 = 43.2\)
So the answer isĀ 43.2in\(^{2}\)
