Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area of a triangle is given by the formula $A = \frac{1}{2}bh$, where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height. In this case, the base is $120$ ft and the height is $50$ ft, so the area is $A = \frac{1}{2}(120)(50) = 3000$ sq ft. The value of the land is $\$ 45$ per square foot, so the value of the lot is $3000 \times 45 = 135000$.
