A quilt is being formed with triangular peices. Each piece has a base of 6 inches and a height of 6 inches. If the quilt will use 24 pieces, what is the area of the fabric?

Respuesta :

Answer:

432 square inch

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle of base, b, and height, h = [tex]\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]

The area of each triangular piece = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times6\times6 = 18[/tex]

If the quilt uses 24 pieces, then the area of the fabric = 24 × area of each triangular piece = 18 × 24 = 432 square inch
