Questions 16 and 17.

Question 16:

What is the area of each triangle?




A)









The formula is Base x Height, divided by 2.
2 m x 6 m = 12 m

12 m ÷ 2 = 6 m

So the answer is 6 m ².

B)

b
= 5.2 m, h
= 5.3 m

5.2 x 5.3 = 27.5

27.56 ÷
2 = 13.78 m

The answer: 13.78 m ²

Question 17:


Aleta has a pasture for her horses. The pasture runs alongside a creek as shown. What is the approximate area of the pasture? Explain how you determined show your answer.

















1.1 km will be your base.
1.6 km will be your height.

1.1 x 1.6 = 1.76

1.76 ÷ 2 = 0.88

The answer: 0.88 km ². It is an app. answer because the creek is NOT straight.


Here is a video to help you find the area of a triangle.
