Exercise 2 Page 338

To find the area, calculate half of the product of the base and the height.

154in.^2

Let's find the area of the given triangle. The area of a triangle is half the product of its base and its height.

In the given triangle, we can see that the base is 22 inches and that the height is 14 inches. We can substitute these two values into the formula for the area of a triangle and simplify. Let's do it!

A=1/2bh

b= 22, h= 14

A=1/2( 22)( 14)

Evaluate right-hand side

Multiply

A=1/2(308)

MoveRightFacToNumOne

1/b* a = a/b

A=308/2

Calculate quotient

A=154

The area of the triangle is 154 square inches.
