Question

What is the area of the following triangle in square meters? Do not round your answer.



A =

Answer 1

A = bh/2

Answer 2

Please explain it step by step..

Answer 3

The area of a triangle is the base times the height divided by 2.
Your base is 54 cm. Your height is 1.2 cm.
multiply 54 by 1.2 and divide by 2.

Answer 4

u know how im not good at explaining so ill let @mathstudent55 explain

Answer 5

32.4?

Answer 6

@mathstudent55

Answer 7

yes u r correct

Answer 8

It says it is wrong?

Answer 9

i think it should be 0.648 square meters

using 2 different units 54 cm = 0.54 m
it asked for the answer in sw meters

Answer 10

I just noticed the 1.2 is in meters.
The 54 is in cm.
They want the answer is square meters, so we need to convert.

Answer 11

The conversion from cm to m is divide by 100, since there are 100 cm in a m.

A = bh/2 = 54 cm * 1/100 m/cm * 1.2 m /2

Now that means, first, divide 54 by 100. That gives you 0.54 m.

Now multiply 0.54 by 1.2 and divide by 2.
That is the answer in square meters.

Answer 12

the base is actually 108 cm 2*54 cm because the area of a triangle is 1/2 b * perpendicular height

Answer 13

The base is only the length of the side we use as base. The extension used to meet the height is not part of the base.
We are given he base as 54 cm, so we convert it to 0.54 cm.
