To find the area of a triangle, we need to use the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Looking at the triangle in the image, we can see that the base is 6.8 meters and the height is 4.2 meters. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Area = 1/2 * 6.8 * 4.2 = 14.28 square meters
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the area of the triangle is approximately 14.3 m2.
None of the provided answer choices match this to the nearest tenth, so it looks like there may be a mistake. The correct answer would be 14.3 m2.
What is the area of the triangle to the nearest tenth of a square meter? Drawing is not to scale.
