Answer:
A - 496
Step-by-step explanation:
formula for area of a triangle
[tex]a = \frac{bh}{2} [/tex]
where b = base length and h = height
The triangle shown has a base length of 62 ft and a height of 16 ft
That being said we plug in the given values into the formula
[tex]a = \frac{62 \times 16}{2} \\ 62 \times 16 = 992 \\ \frac{992}{2} = 496[/tex]
Hence the area of the triangle is 496 square feet
