Triangle C has a base of 30 feet and a height of 6 feet. Model the area equation for the triangle by decomposing and rearranging to find the area of triangle C .(1 point)
The area of triangle C is
square feet.
The area of a triangle is given by the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Substitute the given values into the formula:
Area = 1/2 * 30 * 6
Area = 15 * 6
Area = 90
Therefore, the area of triangle C is 90 square feet.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a 4 by 7 grid. A triangle is drawn. The base is labeled b equals 5. The height is indicated by a dotted vertical line segment from the top vertex to the base and is labeled h equals 2.
Use the area of a triangle formula to find the area of a triangle with a base of 5 inches and a height of 2 inches.

The area of the triangle is
square inche
The area of a triangle is given by the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Substitute the given values into the formula:
Area = 1/2 * 5 * 2
Area = 2.5 * 2
Area = 5
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 5 square inches.
