Answer:
8.25 feet² → area of the sail
Step-by-step explanation:
Base (b) = 3 feet
Height (h) = 5 ½ = 11/2
Area of the sail / triangle
= ½ bh
= ½ × 3 × 11/2
= 33/4
= 8.25 feet²
Hope it helps ⚜
[tex]base = 3 \: ft[/tex]
[tex]heigh = 5 \frac{1}{2} \: ft[/tex]
the area of the triangle sail.
[tex]5 \frac{1}{2} = 5.5[/tex]
[tex]a = \frac{hb}{2} [/tex]
[tex]a = \frac{5.5 \times 3}{2} [/tex]
[tex]a = 8.25 \: {ft}^{2} [/tex]
hence, the area of the triangular sail is 8.25 square feets.
