Question

jazlyn wants to purchase the triangular trampoline shown. the scale is shown in the drawing. area of triangle = \\( \frac { 1 } { 2 } b h \\) what are the actual base and height of the trampoline? actual base = 8 ft actual height = 10 ft what is the actual area of the trampoline? \\( \square \mathrm { ft } ^ { 2 } \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute base and height into formula

Given the formula for the area of a triangle \(A=\frac{1}{2}bh\), where \(b = 8\) ft (base) and \(h=10\) ft (height).

Step2: Calculate the area
