What is the area of the triangle?

A right triangle with side lengths 3.6 feet, 6 feet, and 4.8 feet. The base is 4.8 feet and the height is 3.6 feet.

8.64 feet squared

10.8 feet squared

14.4 feet squared

17.28 feet squared

A. 8.64 feet squared

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2 (4.8 x 3.6)

A = 1/2 (17.28)

A = 8.64 feet²

8.64 feet squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is 1/2 (bh) or base * height divided by 2,

So first multiply 4.8 and 3.6

(4.8) (3.6) = 17.28

Then divide that by 2

17.28/2 = 8.64
