Question

The area of the plane figure is measure of the amount of surface of the figure. Find the area of the figure to the right (The area of a triangle is 1/2 the product of its base and height.)
The area of the triangle is..?

Answer 1

The area is 0.047 if you use the formula and use 7/25*4/25 allover 2. Add me as a friend plz. I am great at math

Answer 2

Answer:

The area of the triangle is $\frac{7}{150}$ square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this exercise we only need to recall the formula for the area of a triangle:

$A = \frac{b\cdot h}{2}$,

where $b$ stands for the base and $h$ stands for the height of the triangle.

In this particular case we have that the base is the segment with length 7/12 ft and the height is the segment with length 4/25 ft. So, once we have recognized the elements in the triangle, we only need to substitute the values. Thus,

$A = \frac{b\cdot h}{2} = \frac{\frac{7}{12}\cdot \frac{4}{25}}{2}= \frac{\frac{7}{75}}{2} = \frac{7}{150}$.
