The sixth grade art students are making a mosaic using tiles in the shape of right triangles. Each tile has leg measures of 3 centimeters and 5 centimeters. If there are 200 tiles in the mosaic, what is the area of the mosaic?

Respuesta :

Area of a Triangle = 0.5 x Base x Height 
 
Therefore the area of one mosaic triangle = 0.5 x 3 x 5 = 7.5

So the area of the whole mosaic is : 7.5 x 200 = 1500cm^2
