Mr. nelson is buying property in the shape of a triangle to build a new house. if the property costs $42.50 per square foot, how much will he pay?

To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height and divide by 2.
The figure shows a base of 98 ft and a height of 47 ft.







Now that we know the area, we multiply it by the cost of the land per square foot.

2,303 ft^2 * $42.50/ft^2 = $97,877.50

He must pay $97,877.50

(6,0) i hope it makes enough sense
