Question

area of triangle = \\( \frac { 1 } { 2 } b h \\)
find the actual base and height of the garden.
actual base =? ft
actual height = ft
height = 6 in.
base = 5 in.
an error has occurred. please enter a number.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert inches to feet

Since 1 foot = 12 inches.
For the base: \(b = 5\) inches. Then \(b=\frac{5}{12}\) ft.
For the height: \(h = 6\) inches. Then \(h=\frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{2}\) ft.

Answer:

Actual base \(=\frac{5}{12}\) ft, Actual height \(=\frac{1}{2}\) ft
