Find the exact area of a triangle with a base of sqrt of 30 meters and height sqrt of 6 meters.
--------
Area = (1/2)*base*height
= (1/2)*(sqrt(30))*sqrt(6)
= (1/2)*(sqrt(180))
= (1/2)*sqrt(9*4*5)
= (1/2)*6sqrt(5)
= 3sqrt(5) sq. meters

A=%281%2F2%29b%2Ah Start with the area of a triangle formula



A=%281%2F2%29%28sqrt%2830%29%29%28sqrt%286%29%29 Plug in b=sqrt%2830%29 and h=sqrt%286%29


A=%28sqrt%28180%29%29%2F%282%29 Multiply


A=%286sqrt%285%29%29%2F%282%29 Simplify the square root.


A=3%2Asqrt%285%29 Reduce 6%2F2 to get 3%2F1 or just 3


So the area is A=3%2Asqrt%285%29
