Compute the area of the following triangle. (Round answer to the nearest hundredth). b = 16.5 in. h = 7.5 in. Area = ? square inches

Respuesta :

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 [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(Height)(Base)=\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)[/tex]

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

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(16.5)(7.5)=(8.25)(7.5)=61.875 in^{2}[/tex]

Therefore answer is area of the triangle = 61.875 in²
