Triangle c has a base of 8 ft and a height of 5 ft. Model the area equation for the triangle by decomposing and rearranging to find the area of triangle c
The area of a triangle is given by the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Substitute the values of base and height for triangle c:
Area = 1/2 * 8 ft * 5 ft
Area = 1/2 * 40 ft^2
Area = 20 ft^2
Therefore, the area of triangle c is 20 square feet.
