Question

Triangle C has a base of 10 ft and a height of 10 ft model the area equation for a triangle by decomposing and rearranging to find the area of triangle C 200 ft 100 feet 50 square feet 50 ft

Answer 1

To find the area of triangle C, we can use the standard area formula for a triangle, which is given by:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

For triangle C, we have:

- Base = 10 ft
- Height = 10 ft

Now, applying the values to the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \text{ ft} \times 10 \text{ ft}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 \text{ ft}^2 = 50 \text{ ft}^2
\]

So, the area of triangle C is **50 square feet**.

To summarize the area equation for a triangle and the area of triangle C:
1. Formula: \(\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}\)
2. For triangle C: \(\text{Area} = 50 \text{ ft}^2\)
