What are they asking me to do? I can't fit this into the area of a triangle formula... Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I think you have to assume that it is a right triangle...one whose area is
A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(5)(5) = 12.5 mi^2 (or 13 rounded up)
