Find the area of each triangle
Base 5ft height 2 1/3 ft


Sagot :

Answer:

A = 5 [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bh ( b is the base and h the height ) , then

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 5 × 2 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ← convert to improper fraction

   = [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

   = [tex]\frac{5(7)}{2(3)}[/tex]

   = [tex]\frac{35}{6}[/tex]

   = 5 [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] ft²
