Question

What is the area of the given triangle?

Answer 1

Answer: 12 square units

Step-by-step explanation: first you must count hom many units there are between points A and B, which is 4, and then count the points between B and C, which is 6.

Now that we have the units we do 6 x 4 = 24, however, you may be asking why we do not do 24 then, well if you were to be doing 6 x 4, you would be getting the area of a rectangle, and half of a rectangle is a triangle, so we have to do 24/2 which equals 12.
