\begin{array}{r} b = & 5 \\ h = & 1 \end{array}

$\begin{array}{r} b = & 5 \\ h = & 1 \end{array}$

Step 1

The area of a triangle is equal to

\frac{1}{2}

$\frac{1}{2}$ the base times the height.

\frac{1}{2} \cdot (b a s e) \cdot (h e i g h t)

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (b a s e) \cdot (h e i g h t)$

Step 2

Substitute the values of the base

b = 5

$b = 5$ and height

h = 1

$h = 1$ into the formula for the area of a triangle.

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 5 \cdot 1

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot 5 \cdot 1$

Step 3

Combine

\frac{1}{2}

$\frac{1}{2}$ and

5

$5$ .

\frac{5}{2} \cdot 1

$\frac{5}{2} \cdot 1$

Step 4

Multiply

\frac{5}{2}

$\frac{5}{2}$ by

1

$1$ .

\frac{5}{2}

$\frac{5}{2}$

Step 5

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

\frac{5}{2}

$\frac{5}{2}$

Decimal Form:

2.5

$2.5$

Mixed Number Form:

2 \frac{1}{2}

$2 \frac{1}{2}$
