You want to sell triangular kites. Each kite will have a base of 4 feet and a height of 3 feet. Cloth for the kites costs $0.52 per square foot. How much does the cloth for 1 kite cost?

Step-by-step explanation:

Square feet refer to the area of the triangle. Using the area formula (1/2bh), the area is calculated to be 4.375 square feet. If each square foot costs $.40 to make, then the correct process is to multiply 4.375 by. 40, making the correct answer $1.75.
