Questions for 16 and 17

16.) What is the area of the triangle?
a.) A= b x h (base times height)
6 m is the base and the 2 m is the height.
After you multiply 6 m and 2 m, it's going to give you 12m.
Then, you will have to divide 12m to 2. It will give you 6 m.
The answer is, 6m²
b.) b=5.2m, h=5.3m
b x h
5.2 x 5.3
= 27.56
--------------
2
= 13.78 m²
The line you see the above 2 and below 27.56, that means divided by.
