2 ft

_________ square feet

blank 1:

Explanation:

Step1: Use 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.
In this case, the base \(b = 2\) ft and the height \(h=2\) ft.

Step2: Substitute the values into the formula

Substitute \(b = 2\) and \(h = 2\) into \(A=\frac{1}{2}bh\).
We get \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times2\times2\).
First, calculate \(\frac{1}{2}\times2 = 1\), then \(1\times2=2\).

Answer:

\(2\)
