Question

find the area. exact answers, no rounding.
11 in
area = 17.4 sq in
5.8 in
6 in

Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle area formula

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

Step2: Identify base and height

Here, base $= 11$ in, height $= 5.8$ in.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 11 \times 5.8$

Step4: Calculate the product

First compute $11 \times 5.8 = 63.8$, then $\frac{1}{2} \times 63.8 = 31.9$

Answer:

31.9 sq in
