Question

what is the area of a triangle with a base length of 18 meters and a height length of 13 meters?
you do not need to include the unit measurement or unit type. only the numerical answer is necessary. round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the area formula for a triangle

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

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \(b = 18\) and \(h=13\), we substitute into the formula: \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times18\times13\).
First, calculate \(18\times13 = 234\). Then, \(\frac{1}{2}\times234=117\).

Answer:
