Answer 1

Answer:

A= 216 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving for the area of a triangle you multiply base by height.

the base is 27 cm and the height 16.

27 x 16 = 216 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

$216$ $cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle:

$A=\frac{1}{2} *bh$

The base is 27 and the height 16. Insert values:

$A=\frac{1}{2} *27*16$

Simplify:

$A=\frac{1*27*16}{2}\\\\A=\frac{27*16}{2}\\\\A=\frac{432}{2}\\\\A= 216$

The area of the triangle is $216$ $cm^2$.
