Chapter 9.3, Problem 49STP

To determine

To write: An expression in simplest form to represent the area of triangle.

Answer to Problem 49STP

Simplest form of area of triangle is $6x^8$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

As mentioned in the problem base is $4x^3$ and height is $3x^5$ .

Formula used:

Area of triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$ .Where $b$ is base and $h$ is height.

Calculation:

Consider the expression mentioned in the problem base is $4x^3$ and height is $3x^5$ .

Recall that Area of triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$ .Where $b$ is base and $h$ is height.

Therefore area of triangle in simplest form is $A=\frac{1}{2}*4x^3*3x^5=6x^{3+5}=6x^8$
