Question

the tallest player in wnba history was 7 feet 2 inches tall. which shows an equivalent height?
a. 58 inches
b. 72 inches
c. 86 inches
d. 114 inches

find the area of the triangle
$3\frac{1}{4}$in.
$4\frac{4}{5}$in.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert feet to inches

Since 1 foot = 12 inches, calculate inches from 7 feet:
$7 \times 12 = 84$ inches

Step2: Add remaining inches

Add the 2 inches to the total from Step1:
$84 + 2 = 86$ inches

Step3: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions

For the triangle's height $3\frac{1}{4}$:
$3\frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}$ inches
For the triangle's base $4\frac{4}{5}$:
$4\frac{4}{5} = \frac{24}{5}$ inches

Step4: Apply triangle area formula

Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$
$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{24}{5} \times \frac{13}{4}$

Step5: Simplify the expression

First simplify $\frac{24}{4}=6$, then $\frac{1}{2} \times 6 = 3$:
$3 \times \frac{13}{5} = \frac{39}{5} = 7\frac{4}{5}$ square inches

Answer:

1. C. 86 inches
2. $7\frac{4}{5}$ square inches (or $\frac{39}{5}$ square inches)
