To find the area of a triangle, use the formula %281%2F2%29%28b%29%28h%29, where b is base and h is height. So, if we plug in the height and base...

(%281%2F2%29)(5%283%2F4%29)(3%281%2F2%29)
(%281%2F2%29)(%28161%2F8%29)=%28161%2F16%29
If we take the fraction into a whole number by dividing the numerator by the denominator, we get 10.0625, or 10%281%2F16%29. The nearest whole unit would be 10 units squared.
