Question

The area of a triangle with a height of 9 cm and a base of 6 cm is

Answer 1

Answer:

27 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula of Area Triangle = 1/2(base x height)

Base = 6 cm

Height = 9 cm

1/2 ( 6 x 9 ) = 1/2 ( 54 ) = 27

Units = cm * cm = cm²

27 cm²

Why the formula (1/2 ( base x height )) works:

Take a triangle

Duplicate the triangle

And rotate the triangle and put it next to the other one

What shape does it form?

Either a parallelogram or a rectangle

The formula for a parallelogram or rectangle is (base x height)

Since you are initially doubling the area of the triangle to get the rectangle, solve for the rectangle and divide by 2.

So, do base x height

And divide by 2
