Find the area of a non-right triangle with base \(b = 14\text{ inches}\) and matching altitude height \(h = 9\text{ inches}\).
Answer = (1)
Correct Answer
(1) 63
Explanation
The formula remains \(A = \frac{1}{2}bh\) regardless of the lateral obliqueness:
\[A = \frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 9 = 63\text{ in.}^2\]
