Question

question 10 (1 point)
find the area of the shape
area = _ ft²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a triangle

The formula for the area of a triangle is \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height\).

Step2: Identify the base and height of the triangle

From the given triangle, the base \(b = 10\) ft and the height \(h=7\) ft.

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula

Substitute \(b = 10\) and \(h = 7\) into \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h\). So, \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times7\).
First, calculate \(10\times7 = 70\). Then, \(\frac{1}{2}\times70=35\).

Answer:

35
