Answer 4

A=1/2*b*h

Answer 5

since they have same h, we can add b together

Answer 6

so new b=20, 20*10*1/2=100

Answer 7

1st triangle: 8 x 10 = 80 x 0.5 = 40

2nd triangle: 12 x 10 = 120 x 0.5 = 60.

60 + 40 = 100.

The total area of the two triangles is 100 square inches.

Answer 8

Using the formula: B * H * 0.5 (OR 1/2)
