if a = 3, c = 4, b = 6 and h = 2,
what is the area of the triangle?
8
shawn has an apple grove that is 75 feet
x 50 feet. he then purchases a section
of land 20 feet x 10 feet. find the new
total area of the farm.

Explanation:

Step1: Use triangle area formula

$\text{Area of triangle} = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h$

Step2: Substitute given values

$\text{Area of triangle} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 2$

Step3: Calculate the result

$\text{Area of triangle} = 6$
---

Step1: Calculate grove area

$\text{Area of grove} = 75 \times 50 = 3750$

Step2: Calculate new land area

$\text{Area of new land} = 20 \times 10 = 200$

Step3: Sum areas for total

$\text{Total area} = 3750 + 200 = 3950$

Answer:

1. The area of the triangle is 6 square units.
2. The new total area of the farm is 3950 square feet.
