Farmer · Answer 1

A = 72 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by

A = 1/2 bh where b is the base and h is the height

A = 1/2 (9) * 16

A = 72 ft^2

Jerome Baker · Answer 2

A = 72ft².

We have to use the area of a triangle equation A = (b*h) / 2.

A triangle with a base b = 9ft and a height h = 16ft:

A = (9ft*16ft) / 2 = 144ft²/2

A = 72ft²
