If you were to graph this triangle, you would see that the base (b) is 7 units and the height (h) is 5 units, so its (not it's) area can be found using the formula for the area of a triangle:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%281%2F2%29bh\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%281%2F2%29%287%29%285%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%281%2F2%29%2835%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+17.5\"square units.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
