Answer :

Answer:

2.5 times 4.5 times .5 = 5.625 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at our Formula

.5 times base of triangle (b) times height of triangle (h)

Based on the photo, the height is 4.5 feet and the base is 2.5 feet.

4.5 times 2.5 times .5 (the 1/2 in the formula) = 5.625 ft squared.

Remember that it is 1/2 times the base and height, b/c triangle is half of square. Ft squared because ft times ft equals ft squared
