Question

the scale is 1 in = 2 ft.

area of triangle = \\( \frac { 1 } { 2 } b h \\)

find the actual base and height of the garden.

actual base = 10 ft
height = 6 in.

actual height = 12 ft

what is the actual area of the garden?

actual area = \\( \square \\) \\( ft ^ { 2 } \\)

base = 5 in.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a triangle

The formula for the area of a triangle is \(A=\frac{1}{2}bh\), where \(b\) is the base and \(h\) is the height.

Step2: Substitute the values of base and height

We are given that the actual base \(b = 10\) ft and the actual height \(h=12\) ft.
Substitute these values into the formula: \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times12\).
First, calculate \(10\times12 = 120\). Then, \(\frac{1}{2}\times120=60\).

Answer:

\(60\)
