Use the hint...
A = base*height/2
.
The problem gave the following information:
height = 15 inches
base = 21 inches
.
Calculate the area of the triangle by substituting in what we know into:
A = base*height/2
A = 21*15/2
A = 21*15/2
A = 157.5 square inches
.
Since the coating costs $1.22 per square inch, multiply that with the area:
157.5 * 1.22 = $192.15
