To find the area of triangle ΔPQR, we need to use the formula for the area of a triangle: Area = 1/2 * base * height.
Looking at the drawing (which is not to scale), we can see that the base of the triangle is PQ, which is 12 meters, and the height of the triangle is 5 meters.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Area = 1/2 * 12 * 5
Area = 30 square meters
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a square meter, the area of triangle ΔPQR is 30.0 m2.
Therefore, the correct response is: 27.0 m2
