n A-frame cabin has a triangular front with a base of 30 ft and a height of 20 ft. If the front is to be glass that costs $3 per square foot, what will the glass cost?
:
you should know the formula for the area of a triangle A = 1%2F2*b*h
:
They give you the base and the height
A = 1%2F2*30*20
A = 300 sq ft
:
Find the cost of the glass:
Cost = 300*3 = $900

That wasn't so hard, was it?
