Question

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 5 units and a height of 15 units

Answer 1

Answer:

Area is 37.5 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

$\text{Area of a triangle}= \frac{1}{2}\times \text{Base}\times \text{height}$

Here,

Base = 5 units,

Height = 15 units,

So, the area of the given triangle is,

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 15$

$=\frac{75}{2}$

$=37.5\text{ square unit}$

Answer 2

Area = 1/2bh (base · height)

5 · 15 = 75

75 · 0.50 or 75/2 = 37.50

Area = 37.50

Hope this helps!
