Use the formulas for the area of a triangle.

D

Practice makes perfect

Let's calculate the area. Here we will use the formula for calculating the area of a triangle. A=1/2bh Now we substitute the value of the base, b= 4b^3d^2, and the value of the height, h= 3b^2d^5, into the formula to calculate A.

A=1/2bh
A=1/2( 4b^3d^2)( 3b^2d^5)
A=1/2* 4* 3* b^3* b^2* d^5* d^2
A=1/2* 4* 3 * b^5* d^7
A=1/212b^5d^7
A=12/2b^5d^7
A=6b^5d^7

The area of the triangle is 6b^5d^7. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
