Given:
A triangle with a base length of 22 ft and a height of 20 ft.
To find:
The area of the given triangle.
Solution:
The area of a triangle is obtained by multiplying [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] with its base length and its height.
The area of a triangle [tex]= \frac{1}{2} (b)(h).[/tex]
The height is the distance from the base to the highest point on the triangle and the length of the base is the base length.
The given triangle has a base length of 22 ft and a height of 20 ft.
The area of the triangle [tex]= \frac{1}{2} (b)(h) = \frac{1}{2} (22)(20).[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2} (22)(20) = \frac{1}{2} (440) = 220[/tex] ft².
The given triangle has an area of 220 ft².
