Uma is planning to decorate a blanket with a triangular shape that has a base of 5 centimeters and a height of 7 centimeters. She plans to cut out 68 triangles with these dimensions. What will be the total area of the triangles? 10 POINTS! please answer with explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The Area of a triangle is expressed  as 1/2 * base * height. If uma is planning to decorate a blanket with a triangular shape that has a base of 5 centimetres and a height of 7 centimetres, area of the blanket will be expressed as shown;

Area of the blanget = 1/2 * 7 * 5

Area of a blanket = 35/2 = 17.5cm²

If she plans to cut out 68 triangles with these dimensions, the total area will be total number of triangles * area of one triangle i.e 68 * 17.5 = 1,190cm²
