Question

Compute the area of the triangle. (Express answer in cm²) h = 4 cm b = 13 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

area = 26 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is:  area = $\frac{1}{2}bh$

Where b = the length of the base and h = height.  

In the given problem h = 4 cm and b = 13 cm, so we can plug these values into the equation and multiply:

area = $\frac{1}{2}(4)(13)=\frac{1}{2}(52)=26cm^{2}$.
