Question

11.) with the information below, answer the following: a.) estimate the area of idaho using only one polygon

Explanation:

Step1: Identify polygon for part a

For part a, assume the polygon is a triangle with base $b = 200$ mi and height $h=390$ mi.

Step2: Apply triangle - area formula

The area formula for a triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$. Substitute $b = 200$ and $h = 390$ into the formula: $A=\frac{1}{2}\times200\times390$.

Step3: Calculate the area

$\frac{1}{2}\times200\times390=100\times390 = 39000$ square - miles.

Answer:

a. 39000 square miles
