area of a triangle with a base of 1 4/5 yards, and a height of 5/7 yards.
A = 1/2bh
A = (1/2)(1 4/5)(5/7)
A = (1/2)(9/5)(5/7)
A = 45/70
A = 1 25/45 = 1 5/9 square yards
Thank you so much you are great. It is really appreciated.
You're very welcome.
To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:
Area = (base * height) / 2
In this case, the base of the triangle is 1 4/5 yards, and the height is 5/7 yards.
First, let's convert the mixed number of the base to an improper fraction:
1 4/5 = (1 * 5 + 4) / 5 = 9/5 yards
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
Area = (9/5 * 5/7) / 2
Next, let's simplify the fraction multiplication:
Area = (9 * 5) / (5 * 7) / 2
= 45/35 / 2
To divide fractions, we need to multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
Area = 45/35 * 1/2
Now, let's simplify the multiplication of fractions:
Area = (45 * 1) / (35 * 2)
= 45/70
Finally, let's simplify the fraction:
Area = 9/14 square yards
So, the area of the triangle is 9/14 square yards.
