Question

Solve for the area: 32 cm^2 16 cm 32 cm 16 cm^2

Answer 1

Given :

• Base of triangle = 8 cm
• Height of triangle = 4 cm

To Find :

• Area of triangle = ?

Solution :

As, we have :

• Base of triangle, b = 8 cm
• Height of triangle, h = 4 cm

So, to find area of triangle we have a formula :

$\large \underline{\boxed{\bf{Area_{(triangle)} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times b \times h}}}$

$\tt : \implies Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 8 \: cm \times 4 \: cm$

$\tt : \implies Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 32 \: cm^2$

$\tt : \implies Area = \cancel{\dfrac{32}{2}} \: cm^2$

$\tt : \implies Area = 16 \: cm^2$

Hence, area of given triangle is 16 cm².
