How do you find area of triangle with base 9 feet 3 inches and altitude 5 feet 6 inches?

A:We know that the area of a triangle is (1/2) * base * height.

Also, we know that 1 foot = 12 inches.

Implies 3 inches = 0.25 feet and 6 inches = 0.5 feet.

9 feet 3 inches = 9 feet + 0.25 feet = 9.25 feet

5 feet 6 inches = 5 feet + 0.5 feet = 5.5 feet

Area = (1/2) * base * height.

Given: Base = 9 feet 3 inches = 9.25 feet.

Height = 5 feet 6 inches = 5.5 feet.

Area = (1/2) * 9.25 * 5.5

= (0.5) (9.25) (5.5)

= 25.4375 square feet.
