Question:
Gabriel started to calculate the area of the triangle. His work is shown.
A = 1/2 bh=1/2 (1/2) (3/4)
A triangle has a base of three-fourths inch and a height of one-half inch
What is the area of the triangle?
The area of the triangle is ___in.²
Answer:
Area of the triangle = [tex] \frac{3}{16} inch^2 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the dimensions of the triangle as:
Base, b = ¾ inch
Height, h= ½ inch
To find the area of the triangle, let's use the formula :
Area of a triangle = ½base *height
Solving further, we have:
Area of a triangle = [tex] \frac{1}{2}*\frac{3}{4} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{16} [/tex]
Area of the triangle = [tex] \frac{3}{16} inch^2 [/tex]
