1. Michel buys a leash for his dog. The leash is 6 ft 3 inches. How long, in inches, is the leash?(1 ft = 12 inches) A) 48 inches
B) 51 inches
C) 72 inches
D) 75 inches

2. What is the area of a triangular garden with base of 6 ft and a height of 9 ft? (A = 1/2BH)

A) 27 square feet
B) 48 square feet
C) 54 square feet
D) 24 square feet

1.  D) 75 inches

2. A)  27 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  You need to convert 6 feet to inches.  In one foot, there are 12 inches.  Multiply 6 by 12 to find the number of inches in 6 feet.  Add 3 inches to the product to find the total number of inches.

6 × 12 = 72

72 + 3 = 75

You will have 75 inches in total.

2.  Use the formula to solve.  You are given the base and the height already.  Simply plug in and solve.

A = 1/2BH

A = 1/2(6)(9)

A = 3(9)

A = 27 ft²

The area is 27 ft².
