13.8

Answer 3

What am I not doing right? can you explain?

Answer 4

okay so do you know how to find the area of a Triangle?

Answer 5

1/2 b*h

Answer 6

\[A=\frac{ 1 }{ 2}bh\]

oh, i see where you went wrong
when finding area of a right trangle, you do the base times height, which you got correct, but you have to divide it by two
