Answer:
[tex]b[/tex] = 3 units
[tex]h[/tex] = 5 units
[tex]a[/tex] = 7.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the base of the figure by counting the number of units from the left to the right of the triangle. So, we can find that the base is 3 units.
The height of the figure can be found by counting how many units the figure measures from the tip to the bottom. The height, then, is 5 units.
The easiest way to find the area of a right triangle is to imagine it as a rectangle, with the same [tex]l[/tex] (length) and [tex]w[/tex] (width) dimensions, and then divide the area of the rectangle by two.
So, to find the area of this rectangle, multiply the length and width, 3 and 5, together.
3 · 5 = 15
Then, we can divide this product by two.
[tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex] = 7.5
The area is 7.5 units².
Hope this helped :] Good luck!
