Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a right angled triangle. The perpendicular height is 8 meters and the base is 25.3 meters.
The city is planning to plant a certain number of trees for every square meter of a triangle-shaped park. Compose a rectangle to find the area of the park. What is the area of the park in square meters?
To find the area of the triangle-shaped park, we use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
In this case, the base is 25.3 meters and the height is 8 meters.
Area = 1/2 * 25.3 * 8
Area = 101.2 square meters
Therefore, the area of the park is 101.2 square meters.
