The expression \dfrac12bh 21 bhstart fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction, b, h gives the area of a triangle where bbb is t
he base of the triangle and hhh is the height of the triangle.What is the area of a triangle with a base of 7 \text{ cm}7 cm7, space, c, m and a height of 4 \text{ cm}4 cm4, space, c, m? \text{ cm}^2 cm 2
For this case, the first thing we must do is use the given expression. We have then: A = (1/2) * (b) * (h) Substituting the values: A = (1/2) * (7) * (4) A = 14cm ^ 2 Answer: the area of a triangle with a base of 7 cm and a height of 4 cm is: A = 14cm ^ 2
