Q. Unit: GeometryHomework 2AREA OF TRIANGLESMatch each correct answer to a letter and complet1Find the area of a right triangle with a height of 821 feet and a base of 15 feet.8.5
Recall Triangle Area Formula: Recall the formula for the area of a triangle.The area A of a triangle is given by the formula A=2base×height.
Plug in Given Values: Plug in the given values for the base and height into the area formula.The base b is 15 feet, and the height h is 8.5 feet.A=(15×8.5)/2
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the product of the base and height. 15×8.5=127.5
Divide to Find Area: Divide the product by 2 to find the area of the triangle. 127.5/2=63.75
