Question

Find the area of the triangle. Answer options: 24, 5.5, 11, 12

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is

A = 1/2 b *h

The base is 6 units  (from -2 to 4)

The height is  4 units ( from 1 to 5)

A = 1/2 6*4

   = 1/2 (24)

   = 12 units^2

Answer 2

Answer:

= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is given by the formula;

1/2bh; where b is the base length and h is the perpendicular height

b = 6 units and h = 4 units

Thus;

Area = 1/2 × 6 × 4

        = 12 square units
