Question

The area of one triangle is 150 square centimeters when it's height is 20 centimeters and it's base length is 15 centimeters. What is the area of a triangle having a height of 30 centimeters and a base length of 18 centimeters.

Answer 1

Formula for finding the area of a triangle: $A = \frac{1}{2}bh$
Where b is the base and h is the height.

Substitute the variables for the values.

$A = \frac{1}{2}(30)(18)$
$A = \frac{1}{2}540$
A = 270

So, the area is 270 square centimeters.
