Area of triangle = 0.5 * base * height base =16 height =8 just sub in your values :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so not the other figure on the left 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 16 the length of the base of the right triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u must have the length of the base of the left triangle too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would you figure out the left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@avrillavigne

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just like the right one a half of x*y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you are not given any numbers to find out what it would equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if 16 was the whole base it would still end up as the same answer of 64 inches squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well like I said before u must have the length of the base of the left triangle too
