Question

find the area of the following figures. a. b. a. the area is 148 cm² (simplify your answer) b. the area is □ (simplify your answer)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a triangle

The formula for the area of a triangle is \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height\).

Step2: Identify the base and height for part b

For the triangle in part b, the base \(b = 22\space m\) and the height \(h=34\space m\).

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula

Substitute \(b = 22\) and \(h = 34\) into \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h\). So \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times22\times34\).
First, calculate \(22\times34 = 748\). Then, \(\frac{1}{2}\times748=374\).

Answer:

\(374\space m^{2}\)
