Answer:
A = 5 [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bh ( b is the base and h the height ) , then
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 5 × 2 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ← convert to improper fraction
= [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{5(7)}{2(3)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{35}{6}[/tex]
= 5 [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] ft²
