the formula for the area of a triangle is ( a = \frac{1}{2}bh ).
find the area of a triangle with a base (( b )) of 8 feet and a height (( h )) of 11 feet.
the area of the triangle is ____ square feet.
the solution is

Explanation:

Step1: Identify formula and values

The formula for the area of a triangle is \( A = \frac{1}{2}bh \), where \( b = 8 \) feet (base) and \( h = 11 \) feet (height).

Step2: Substitute values into formula

Substitute \( b = 8 \) and \( h = 11 \) into the formula: \( A=\frac{1}{2}\times8\times11 \).

Step3: Perform the calculation

First, calculate \( \frac{1}{2}\times8 = 4 \). Then, multiply \( 4\times11 = 44 \).

Answer:

44
