Question

a triangle with base 14, sides 12 and 6, and height 5. what is the area of the triangle? a = one-half(14)(6) = 42 square units a = one-half(12)(5) = 30 square units a = one-half(14)(5) = 35 square units a = one-half(6)(5) = 15 square units

Answer 1

The triangle with base 14, sides 12 and 6, will have an area, a = (1/2)(14)(5) = 35 square units. Hence, the 3rd option is the correct choice.

The area of a plane figure is the space occupied within its boundary.

The area of a triangle is given as,

a = (1/2)(b)(h) sq. units, where a is the area of the triangle, b is its base, and h is its height.

In the question, we have been given a triangle with a base of 14, sides 12 and 6, and a height of 5.

We are asked to determine the area of this triangle.

To determine the area of the triangle, we will use the formula:

a = (1/2)(b)(h) sq. units, where a is the area of the triangle, b is its base, and h is its height.

Now, we are given that the base is 14 and the height is 5, thus substituting b = 14, and h = 5, in the above formula, we get:

a = (1/2)(14)(5) sq. units.

or, a = 35 sq. units.

Comparing this with the given options, we can choose the third option.

Thus, the triangle with base 14, sides 12 and 6, will have an area, a = (1/2)(14)(5) = 35 square units. Hence, the 3rd option is the correct choice.
