Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a right angled triangle. The perpendicular height is 8 meters and the base is 25.3 meters.

The city is planning to plant a certain number of trees for every square meter of a triangle-shaped park. Compose a rectangle to find the area of the park. What is the area of the park in square meters?

_______square meters

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

The area of the park can be found by multiplying the base by the height of the triangle and dividing by 2.

Area = (25.3 meters * 8 meters) / 2
Area = 201.4 square meters

Therefore, the area of the park is 201.4 square meters.

Answer 4

Apologies for the mistake. Let's try calculating the area again:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 25.3 meters * 8 meters
Area = 101.2 square meters

Therefore, the correct area of the park is 101.2 square meters.
