Answer 3

The formula for the area of a triangle is:

\(\sf A = \dfrac{1}{2} b h\)

Here the base is \(\sf 16 \dfrac{3}{4}\) and the height is \(\sf 10 \dfrac{1}{2}\).

So can you plug them in and solve?

Answer 4

idk

Answer 5

you can convert the base into16.75 and the height to 10.50 to make it easier

Answer 6

@ganeshie8 @welder_454 @Radelp @gavin39

Answer 7

\(\sf A = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 16 \dfrac{3}{4} \times 10 \dfrac{1}{2}\)

Answer 8

so 16.75*10.50= what?

Answer 9

Actually @WhiteFangIII we should keep them as fractions..because the answers are in fraction from.

Answer 10

o ok my bad

Answer 11

@lexie<3

Answer 12

we could turn them into incomplete fractions right?

Answer 13

so is it A B C or D?

Answer 14

Answer 15

@ScarlettGrace<3 @TheRaggedyDoctor @Radelp @party_girl @lexie<3 @Coolsector

Answer 16

We can first convert the two fractions into improper fractions:

\(\sf 16 \dfrac{3}{4} \rightarrow \dfrac{4 \times 16 + 3}{4} \rightarrow \dfrac{67}{4}\)

\(\sf 10 \dfrac{1}{2} \rightarrow \dfrac{2 \times 10 + 1}{2} \rightarrow \dfrac{21}{2}\)

So we have:

\(\sf A = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{67}{4} \times \dfrac{21}{2}\)

\(\sf A = \dfrac{1 \times 67 \times 21}{2 \times 4 \times 2}\)

Can you multiply all of that?

Answer 17

Yep, but that's 'improper' not 'incomplete' @WhiteFangIII

Answer 18

try using this: 16 3/4 can be converted into 48/4 and 10 1/2 can be converted into 10/2 if im not mistasken

Answer 19

derp

Answer 20

Can you multiply \(\sf 67 \times 21\)? @AbbySmith12

Answer 21

so which answer choice is it

Answer 22

67*21=1407

Answer 23

1407

Answer 24

yup

Answer 25

can u please hurry up

Answer 26

is 1407 an answer?

Answer 27

Now what's \(\sf 2 \times 4 \times 2\)?

Answer 28

That's not the complete answer. @WhiteFangIII

Answer 29

dang i suck at this!

Answer 30

Lol

Answer 31

Can you multiply \(\sf 2 \times 4 \times 2\)? @AbbySmith12

Answer 32

16

Answer 33

go SeaHawks!! :3

Answer 34

-.-

Answer 35

lol

Answer 36

Yes, so that gives us:

\(\sf \dfrac{1407}{16}\)

Can you divide that? @AbbySmith12

Answer 37

please hurry up and idk

Answer 38

Just put it in your calculator and it will give you the answer.

Answer 39

@WhiteFangIII Please let her do it on her own :l

Answer 40

mine said 87.9875

Answer 41

crap

Answer 42

Yes, and only one option has 87 in front of it..and which one is that? @AbbySmith12

Answer 43

D

Answer 44

srry bout not being able to help much.. :(

Answer 45

Yep, you got it, that's your answer.

Answer 46

thanks so much

Answer 47
