Problema Solution
find the area of a triangle that has the base of 6 2/3 centimeters and a height of 2 1/2 centimeters.
Answer provided by our tutors
b = 6 2/3 cm = (6*3 + 2)/3 = 20/3 cm
h = 2 1/2 cm = (2*2 + 1)/2 = 5/2 cm
A = the are of the triangle
A = (1/2)(b*h)
A = (1/2)(20/3)*(5/2)
A = 25/3
A = 8 1/3 cm^2
A = 8.34 cm^2 approximately
The are of the triangle is 8.34 cm^2 approximately.
