Question

1. find the area of this triangle. multiply the base and the height and divide the total by 2.

12 ft
26 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Identify base and height

Base \( b = 26 \) ft, Height \( h = 12 \) ft.

Step2: Apply triangle area formula

Area \( A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h=\frac{1}{2}\times26\times12 \)

Step3: Calculate the product

\( 26\times12 = 312 \)

Step4: Divide by 2

\( \frac{312}{2}=156 \)

Answer:

The area of the triangle is \( 156 \) square feet.
