Answer:
(b) 60.21ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached triangle
Required
Number of square feet materials needed
This simply means that we calculate area;
[tex]Area = 0.5 * base * height[/tex]
[tex]Area = 0.5 * (14ft\ 2in) * (8ft\ 6in)[/tex]
Convert to ft [divide by 12]
[tex]Area = 0.5 * (14+ 2/12) * (8+ 6/12)[/tex]
[tex]Area = 0.5 * (14.17) * (8.5)[/tex]
[tex]Area = 60.23ft^2[/tex]
(B) is correct
