The formula for area of a triangle given its base and its height is A = (bh)1/2.
The base and height of the triangle are given as follows.
b = 5
h = 3 3/4 or 15/4
Plug these values into the above formula and solve.
A = (bh)1/2
A = 5(15/4)1/2
A = 75/4 * 1/2
A = 75/8
Answer:
The area of the triangle is [tex] \frac{75}{8} [/tex] in² or [tex] 9\frac{3}{8} [/tex] in².
