Laura is moving up to the attic and wants to paint a wall white. The wall is a triangle with a base of 7.5 feet and a height of 12.25 feet. What is the area of the wall? Please help me!!
A = bh/2
A = (7.5 * 12.25) / 2
A = ______ square feet
DUCK LMAO
To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:
Area = (base x height) / 2
In this case, the base of the triangle is 7.5 feet and the height is 12.25 feet.
Plug in these values into the formula:
Area = (7.5 x 12.25) / 2
Now, multiply 7.5 by 12.25:
Area = 91.875 / 2
Finally, divide the result by 2:
Area = 45.9375 square feet
Therefore, the area of the wall is approximately 45.9375 square feet.
