Triangle C has a base of 10 feet and a height of 10 feet. Model the area equation for a triangle by decomposing and rearranging to find the area of triangle C .(1 point) Responses 50 square feet 50 square feet 200 square feet 200 square feet 50 feet 50 feet 100 square feet

Answer 1

The area \( A \) of a triangle can be found using the formula:

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

For Triangle C, you provided the base as 10 feet and the height also as 10 feet. Plugging these values into the formula gives:

\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \text{ feet} \times 10 \text{ feet} \]

Calculating this:

\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 \text{ square feet} = 50 \text{ square feet} \]

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