Question

3. Work out the area of a triangle with base 8cm and vertical height 7cm

Answer 1

Answer:

$Area = 28cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is equal to its base time its height and then divided by 2. This can be written as...

$Area = \frac{bh}{2}$

Therefore the area of the triangle in this case it equal to...

$Area = \frac{bh}{2}$

$Area = \frac{(8)(7)}{2}$

$Area = \frac{56}{2}$

$Area = 28cm^{2}$
