Question

Find the area of each figure. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

A triangle with a base of 6 feet and height of 3 feet 

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The area of the triangle is $9 {\mathrm{feet}}^2$.

Step 1. Given information.

A triangle with a base of 6 feet and a height of 3 feet.

Step 2. Concept used.

The area of a triangle is half into a product of its height and base. Let the base be b and the height is h then it is mathematically denoted by $A=\frac{1}{2}·b·h$.

Step 3. Calculations

$$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}·b·h \\ =\frac{1}{2}·6·3 \\ =9{\mathrm{feet}}^2 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the area of the triangle is $9 {\mathrm{feet}}^2$.
