Answer 1

Answer 2

Area of a triangle=1/2 x base x height
Area=1/2 x 4.5 x 4
Area=2 x 4.5
Area=9

Answer 3

the base of ABD is not 4.5

Answer 4

oh..

Answer 5

how would that be split

Answer 6

what you might be able to do is \(\huge \frac{1}{2}*b*h=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{4.5}{2}*4=\frac{4.5*\cancel{4}}{\cancel{4}}\)

Answer 7

so that leaves me with 4.5

Answer 8

yeah, probably, maybe
