Question

find the area of the triangle below. be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle area formula

The area of a triangle is given by $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$

Step2: Identify base and height

Here, base = $15$ ft, height = $7$ ft

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times 7$

Step4: Calculate the result

$\text{Area} = \frac{105}{2} = 52.5$

Answer:

$52.5$ $\text{ft}^2$
