You are applying a pesticide to a triangular area with a base of 60 feet and a height of 30 feet. What is the area?

  1. 900 square feet

  2. 800 square feet

  3. 1000 square feet

  4. 600 square feet

The correct answer is: 900 square feet

To determine the area of a triangular section, the formula used is: Area = 1/2 × base × height. In this case, the base of the triangle is 60 feet, and the height is 30 feet. By substituting the values into the formula: Area = 1/2 × 60 ft × 30 ft Area = 1/2 × 1800 ft² Area = 900 ft². This computation reveals that the area of the triangular section you are applying the pesticide to is indeed 900 square feet. Understanding how to apply the formula effectively and recognizing the dimensions involved is vital for calculations in a practical applicator setting.
