Chapter 11.6, Problem 2BGP

To determine

To Find: The area of the given figure.

Answer to Problem 2BGP

  $A=8\text{ sq}\text{.ft}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The figure

Concept and Formula Used:

Area of triangle $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

Calculation:

It is given figure that Height of triangle is $=3ft$ and base $=5\frac{1}{3}ft.$

Using the formula

  $\begin{array}{l}A=\frac{1}{2}bh\\ \text{where }h=3ft,\&b=5\frac{1}{3}ft=\frac{16}{3}ft\\ A=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{16}{3}\right)\left(3\right)\\ A=8\text{ sq}\text{.ft}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

  $A=8\text{ sq}\text{.ft}$
