A flower bed in the corner of your yard is in the shape of a right triangle. The perpendicular sides of the bed measure 10 feet and 12 feet. Calculate the area of the flower bed.

Respuesta :

Use the formula of a triangle which is A=1/2bh

A=1/2(10 x 12)


A=1/2(120)


A=60 feet

Answer:

Area of flower bed [tex]= 60 ft^{2} \\[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a right angles triangle [tex]= \frac{1}{2} (b * h)\\[/tex]

b and h are the two perpendicular sides of the triangle

Substituting the values in above equation, we get -

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} ( 10 ft * 12 ft)\\\\= 0.5 * 10 ft * 12 ft\\= 60 ft^{2} \\[/tex]
