Problema Solution
Alex's tree house has a roof made of 4 equal triangular regions. If one region has an altitude of 16 feet and a base of 10 feet, what is the total area of the entire roof?
Answer provided by our tutors
For triangles, area = (1/2)*base*height
There are four equal triangular regions, therefore
A=4*(1/2)*10*16
A=2*160=320
