Stevie is moving up to the attic and wants to paint a wall white. The wall is a triangle with a base of 17 feet and a height of 12 feet. What is the area of the wall?
204 ft 2
58 ft 2
102 ft 2
51 ft 2
102 ft2
it's base * height divided by 2. COnvert the number into the formula and it would be:
17 * 12 = 204
204 / 2 = 102 ft squared
To find the area of the triangle wall, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = (base * height) / 2
In this case, the base of the triangle is 17 feet and the height is 12 feet.
Substituting the given values into the formula, we have:
Area = (17 * 12) / 2
= 204 / 2
= 102 ft^2
Therefore, the area of the wall is 102 ft^2.
So the correct answer is 102 ft^2.
