Question

1. a_{triangle} = \frac{1}{2}bh a = \underline{quadquad} in^2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify base and height

Base $b = 36$ in, Height $h = 32$ in

Step2: Apply triangle area formula

$A = \frac{1}{2}bh = \frac{1}{2} \times 36 \times 32$

Step3: Calculate the product

$\frac{1}{2} \times 36 = 18$; $18 \times 32 = 576$

Answer:

$576$ in$^2$
