[tex]\text{Hey there!}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{The\ formula\ is: A=\dfrac{1}{2}(b)(h)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{A=area}\\\mathsf{b= base}\\\mathsf{h=height}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{8\dfrac{1}{2}=8\times2+1=16+1=17}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{17\ is\ your\ numerator}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{2\ is\ your\ denominator}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{17}{2}=17\div2=8.5}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{Your\ new\ equation: \dfrac{1}{2}(8.5)(6)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{2}(8.5)(6)}\\\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{2}(8.5)=4.25}\\\\\\\mathsf{4.25(6)=25.5}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{Thus,\ your\ answer\ is: \boxed{25.5\ or\ you\ can\ say\ \dfrac{51}{2}}}}}}\checkmark[/tex]
[tex]\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}[/tex]
