Answer:
Area = 5.06 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle is given by
[tex]A = \frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]
Where
b is the base of the triangle
h is the height
From the question
[tex]base = 4 \frac{1}{2} \: in = \frac{9}{2} \: in \\ \\ height = 2 \frac{1}{4} \: in \: = \frac{9}{4} \: in[/tex]
Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the area
We have
[tex]A = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{9}{4} = \frac{81}{16} \\ = 5.0625[/tex]
We have the final answer as
Area = 5.06 in² to the nearest hundredth
Hope this helps you
