Question

Find the area. The figure is not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

Answer: 63.72 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is a triangle.

The area of a triangle can be calculated with the following formula:

$A_{triangle}=\frac{b*h}{2}$

Where the base of the triangle is "b" and the height of the triangle is "h".

You can identify in the figure that:

$b=21.6ft\\h=5.9ft$

Then, you need to substitute these values into the formula  $A_{triangle}=\frac{b*h}{2}$

Therefore, the area of the figure is:

 $A_{triangle}=\frac{(21.6ft)(5.9ft)}{2}$

 $A_{triangle}=63.72ft^2$

Answer 2

The answer is 63.72

A triangle's area can be calculated using the formula a= 1/2 *base* height

In this case, the base is 21.6

And the height is 5.9

Now, just substitute it into the formula, A= 1/2 * 21.6 * 5.9

Which is 63.72
