\begin{matrix} b = & 5 h = & 3 \end{matrix}

$\begin{array}{r} b = & 5 \\ h = & 3 \end{array}$

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 = 3

$h = 3$ into the formula for the area of a triangle.

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 5 \cdot 3

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot 5 \cdot 3$

Step 3

Combine

\frac{1}{2}

$\frac{1}{2}$ and

5

$5$ .

\frac{5}{2} \cdot 3

$\frac{5}{2} \cdot 3$

Step 4

Multiply

\frac{5}{2} \cdot 3

$\frac{5}{2} \cdot 3$ .

Step 4.1

Combine

\frac{5}{2}

$\frac{5}{2}$ and

3

$3$ .

\frac{5 \cdot 3}{2}

$\frac{5 \cdot 3}{2}$

Step 4.2

Multiply

5

$5$ by

3

$3$ .

\frac{15}{2}

$\frac{15}{2}$

\frac{15}{2}

$\frac{15}{2}$

Step 5
