Find area of triangle 11/4 yards and 4/7 yard
93/56
assuming those are the legs of a right triangle,
a = 1/2 bh = 1/2 (11/4)(4/7) = 22/28 = 11/14
To find the area of a triangle, we can use the formula:
Area = (base * height) / 2
In this case, the base of the triangle is 11/4 yards and the height is 4/7 yard. Let's plug these values into the formula:
Area = (11/4 * 4/7) / 2
To calculate this, we need to multiply the numerators (11 * 4) and the denominators (4 * 7):
Area = (44/28) / 2
Next, we simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 4:
Area = (11/7) / 2
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
Area = (11/7) * (1/2)
Now, multiply the numerators (11 * 1) and the denominators (7 * 2):
Area = 11/14
So, the area of the triangle is 11/14 square yards.
