Question

What is the area of a triangle

Answer 1

if it is a 90 degree triangle, the area formula is 1/2 base times height, if it not a 90 degree angle triangle then the area formula is 1/2a.bsinc

Answer 2

@theoryofmars the angles of a triangle=180 degrees not the area

Answer 3

It is a right triangle

Answer 4

How do I solve if the legs are. 5" 1' and the hypotenuse is. 1'1"

Answer 5

Answer 6

i think 1/2x1x5= 5/2

Answer 7

I still don't understand

Answer 8

Answer 9

1/2 your base x your height = 1/2 of 1 x height =5 so its halfx5=5/2

You have to change the lengths to the same units. Do you want the answer in square inches or square feet ?

Answer 11

A=1/2.bh
A=1/2(12)(5)
A=1/2(60)
A= 30 square inches

Answer 12

if you don't care, let's make it inches

one leg is 5 inches
another leg is 1 foot = 12 inches
the hypotenuse is 1 foot, 1 inch= 13 inches

if this is a right triangle, then the legs are the base and height
(as a check: 5^2 + 12^2 = 25+144= 169 = 13^2, so it is a right triangle)

it looks like you got the correct answer.
