What is the area, in square meters, of the figure below?

The area of a triangle can be calculated by multiplying its height and base, then dividing the result by [tex]2[/tex]. As an algebraic expression, that would be [tex]\frac{bh}{2}[/tex], where [tex]b[/tex] is the base and [tex]h[/tex] is the height. In this case, [tex]b=2.2[/tex] and [tex]h=0.5[/tex]. Therefore, the area of the triangle is:

[tex]\frac{bh}{2}\\= \frac{2.2*0.5}{2}\\=\frac{1.1}{2} \\= 0.55[/tex]

Hope this helps!

To Find :

Area of triangle in attachment = ?

Solution :

By observing the diagram, we have :

Base of triangle, b = 2.2 m
Height of triangle, h = 0.5 m

Now, we know that :

[tex] \large \underline{\boxed{\tt{Area_{(triangle)} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times base \times height}}}[/tex]

So, by substituting values, Area of given triangle will be :

[tex] \sf : \implies Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 2.2\: m \times 0.5\: m[/tex]

[tex] \sf : \implies Area = \dfrac{1}{\cancel{2}} \times \dfrac{\cancel{22}}{10} \: m \times \dfrac{5}{10} \: m[/tex]

[tex] \sf : \implies Area = 1 \times \dfrac{11}{10} \: m \times \dfrac{5}{10}\: m[/tex]

[tex] \sf : \implies Area = \dfrac{55}{100} \: m^{2}[/tex]

[tex] \sf : \implies Area = 0.55 \: m^{2}[/tex]

Hence, Area of given triangle is 0.55 m².
