Question

a triangle has a base of 7 inches and a height of 4 inches. what is its area? 1 point 14 in² 11 in² 22 in² 28 in² a triangle has a base of 4 meters and a height of 13 meters. what is its area? 1 point 26 m² 34 m² 52 m² 17 m²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle area formula

The area of a triangle is $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$

For the first triangle (inches):

Step2: Substitute base=7, height=4

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 7 \times 4$

Step3: Calculate the value

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 28 = 14$

For the second triangle (meters):

Step4: Substitute base=4, height=13

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 13$

Step5: Calculate the value

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 52 = 26$

Answer:

1. 14 in²
2. 26 m²
