Question

Mr Sanders wants to display his American flag in a triangular case as shown below what is the area of this triangular case

Answer 1

Solution

For this case we have a triangle with the following dimensions:

b= 14 2/5 = 72/5 = 14.4 in represent the base

h= 8.5 in represent rhe height

And the area is given by:

$A=\frac{b\cdot h}{2}=\frac{14.4\cdot8.5}{2}=61.2in^2$

Then the final answer is 61.2 in^2
