If you are applying a pesticide to a triangular area with a base of 80ft and a height of 40ft, what is the area?

  1. 120 square ft

  2. 1200 square ft

  3. 1600 square ft

  4. 3200 square ft

The correct answer is: 1600 square ft

To calculate the area of a triangle, the formula used is the one-half of the base multiplied by the height. In this scenario, with a base measuring 80 feet and a height of 40 feet, the calculation would be: Area = (1/2) × base × height Area = (1/2) × 80 ft × 40 ft Area = (1/2) × 3200 ft² Area = 1600 ft² Thus, the area of the triangular space where the pesticide is to be applied is 1600 square feet. This is a critical calculation in pesticide application because it helps accurately determine the amount of pesticide needed for coverage, ensuring effective application while minimizing waste and potential environmental impact.
