Question

Compute the area of the triangle. h = 8 cm b = 14 cm a = a0 cm2

Answer 1

A=.5(h)(b)
A=.5(8)(14
A=4(14)
A=56 cm^2

Answer 2

Answer:

The area of the triangle is, $56 cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle(a) is given by:

$a = \frac{1}{2} \cdot bh$           ....[1]

where,

b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.

As per the statement:

Given:

h = 8 cm

b = 14 cm

Substitute in [1] we have;

$a = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 8 \cdot 14 = 4 \cdot 14$

⇒$a = 56 cm^2$

Therefore, the area of the triangle is, $56 cm^2$
