Question

what is the area, in square inches, of the shape below? 3.8 in 3.8 in

Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle - area formula

The formula for the area of a triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$, where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height.

Step2: Identify base and height values

Here, $b = 3.8$ inches and $h=3.8$ inches.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times3.8\times3.8$.

Step4: Calculate the area

$A = \frac{1}{2}\times14.44=7.22$ square - inches.

Answer:

$7.22$ square inches
