A sailboat has a mast that holds a triangular sail. The sail has a base of 12 meters and a height of 9 meters. The cost of the sail is $15 per square meter. What will it cost to make the sail?

First since it is a triangle and it says meter square that means its an area so the area is 1/2hb h stands for height and b stands for base so a=1/2bh a=1/2(12)(9) a=1/2(108) a=54m^2
It says the cost of sail is $15 per square meter so $15*54 =$810
Why times by 54 because if 1 piece is $15 how about 54pcs? thats why we will multiply it

The area of the triangular sail is 54 square meters. To calculate the cost, we multiply the area by the cost per square meter, resulting in a total cost of $810. Therefore, making the sail will cost $810.
