Math Problem Statement
Find the area of the triangle with base 2/9 and height 7/9
Solution
To find the area of a triangle, you use the formula:
Given the base is and the height is , the area is calculated as follows:
First, multiply the fractions:
Now, multiply by :
Finally, simplify the fraction if possible. The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 14 and 162 is 2, so:
Thus, the area of the triangle is .
