Answer :
Answer:
The total area of the two triangles is 56 inches²
Explanation:
[tex]\boxed{Area - of -triangle: \frac{1}{2} * base * height }[/tex]
Here given that the height for both triangles is same: 8 inches and bases differ by each: 8 inches and 6 inches.
using the formula:
area of both triangles:
[tex]\boxed{\frac{1}{2} * 8 * 8 + \frac{1}{2} * 6 * 8}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{32 + 24}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{56}[/tex]
Area of triangle : [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height[/tex]
Here given that the height for both triangles is same: [tex]8[/tex] inches and bases differ by each: [tex]8[/tex] inches and [tex]6[/tex] inches.
Using the formula:
Area of both triangles:
[tex]→ \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 8 + \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 8[/tex]
[tex]→32 + 24[/tex]
[tex]→56[/tex]
Answer :— [tex]56 \: inches ^{2} [/tex]
