Question

jazlyn wants to purchase a triangular trampoline.

what are the actual base and height of the trampoline?

actual base = 10 ft

actual height = 12 ft

what is the actual area of the trampoline?

ft²

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the values of base and height into the area formula

The formula for the area of a triangle is \(A=\frac{1}{2}bh\). Here, \(b = 10\) ft and \(h=12\) ft.

Step2: Calculate the area

Substitute \(b = 10\) and \(h = 12\) into the formula:
\(A=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times12\)
First, calculate \(10\times12 = 120\). Then, \(\frac{1}{2}\times120=60\)

Answer:

60
