Find the area of the above triangle. Round your answer to the
nearest tenth.

8.

To round to the nearest tenth, write down the number with a decimal point, and find the tenths place directly to the right of the decimal. Then, to the right of the tenths place, look at the number in the hundredths place.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the value being rounded is negative, the definition is somewhat ambiguous. Some round -5.5 to -5, some round to -6. We agree here the "up" can be thought of as rounding values that are halfway towards the bigger or more positive value.
