Question

Find the area of the triangle with base 1 3/4 and height 4/9 yard (hint the area of a triangle equals half the product of it's base and height)

Answer 1

\[(1/2)(1+3/4)(4/9) = (1/2)(7/4)(4/9) = \frac{1*7*4}{2*4*9}=?\]

Answer 2

28/72

Answer 3

divide top and bottom by 4

Answer 4

7/18

Answer 5

\[\frac{1*7*4}{2*4*9}=\frac{1*7}{2*9}\]

Answer 6

make use of canceling stuff to make things easy

Answer 7

correct

Answer 8

\[so the answer will be 7/18yd ^{2} \]

Answer 9

so the answer will be *
