 $\begin{array}{r} b = & 28 ft \\ h = & 1.7 ft \end{array}$

Step 1

The area of a triangle is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ the base times the height.

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

Step 2

Substitute the values of the base $b = 28$ and height $h = 1.7$ into the formula for the area of a triangle.

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot 28 \cdot 1.7$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Step 3.1

Factor $2$ out of $28$ .

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (2 (14)) \cdot 1.7$

Step 3.2

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (2 \cdot 14) \cdot 1.7$

Step 3.3

Rewrite the expression.

$14 \cdot 1.7$

Step 4

Multiply $14$ by $1.7$ .

$23.8 {(ft)}^{2}$
