1. Problem Description

We are asked to find the area of the triangle. The base of the triangle is 223+892\frac{2}{3} + \frac{8}{9} meters, and the height is 2142\frac{1}{4} meters.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find the length of the base by adding the two fractions.
223+89=2+23+89=2+69+89=2+149=2+159=3592\frac{2}{3} + \frac{8}{9} = 2 + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{8}{9} = 2 + \frac{6}{9} + \frac{8}{9} = 2 + \frac{14}{9} = 2 + 1\frac{5}{9} = 3\frac{5}{9}
So the base is 3593\frac{5}{9} meters.
Next, convert the base to an improper fraction.
359=3×9+59=27+59=3293\frac{5}{9} = \frac{3 \times 9 + 5}{9} = \frac{27+5}{9} = \frac{32}{9}
Now convert the height to an improper fraction.
214=2×4+14=8+14=942\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{8+1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}
The formula for the area of a triangle is:
Area=12×base×heightArea = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height
Plug in the values for the base and height:
Area=12×329×94Area = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{32}{9} \times \frac{9}{4}
Simplify:
Area=12×321×14=12×81×11=82=4Area = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{32}{1} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8}{1} \times \frac{1}{1} = \frac{8}{2} = 4

3. Final Answer

The area of the triangle is 4 square meters.
