Question

Please I need your help desperately what is the area of this triangle? See attached image thank you so much

Answer 1

To find the area of the given traingle we have to draw perpendicular from point 'J' which meets the x axis at point (2,0) and let us named it 'P'.

As we know that area of triangle is

[tex] = \frac{1}{2}\times b \times h [\tex]

Here base 'b' will be LK and height 'h' will be JP

Here,

LK= 4 units JP=4 units

Area ={1}{2} *(4)*(4)

On solving the equation we get,

Area=8 Sq units
