Hey there,
Key point: [tex]\boxed{remember \ that \ when \ doing \ area \ ,we \ multiply}[/tex]
We would do 22 × 5.9.
And that would give us [tex]129.8ft^2[/tex]
But, if we were to do it like that, that would be considered as doing it as a square, so we divide.
[tex]129.8ft^2[/tex] ÷ 2 . . .
And that would give us [tex]64.9ft^2[/tex].
We have to [tex]\boxed{divide}[/tex] this because
we have to remember that this is not a square, this
is a triangle.
Your correct/clarified answer would be: [tex]\boxed{ 64.9ft^2}[/tex]
Hope this helps.
