Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{bh}{2}[/tex]
where b = base length and h = height
the triangle shown has a base length of 2 and 1/2 and a height 4. and 2/5
So area =
[tex]\frac{2\frac{1}{2} *4\frac{2}{5} }{2} \\\\2\frac{1}{2} *4\frac{2}{5} =11\\\\\frac{11}{2} =5.5[/tex]
5.5 also = [tex]5\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hence, the correct answer is A
