How do you calculate the total area of a triangle with a right angle?

  1. 80 square feet

  2. 1,950 square feet

  3. 3,900 square feet

  4. 4,200 square feet

The correct answer is: 1,950 square feet

To find the total area of a triangle, particularly a right-angled triangle, the formula used is: Area = (base × height) / 2 In this case, the answer you provided reflects a calculation based on the triangle’s dimensions. The area can be accurately calculated if the specific measurements for the base and height are known. For instance, if the base is 78 feet and the height is 50 feet, the calculation would yield: Area = (78 × 50) / 2 = 1,950 square feet. Choosing 1,950 square feet as the total area suggests specific measurements that fit within the right triangle formula, making it a valid answer. If the values of base and height were different, the area could change accordingly. To summarize, the total area calculated as 1,950 square feet assumes a particular set of dimensions consistent with the properties of right triangles and correct use of the area formula.
