Question

How do you find the area of a triangle? Is it base x height divided by 2???

Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

$\boxed{\frac{b*h}{2}}$

You should be correct.

Here’s why:  

• The given formula for a triangle is similar to the formula for area of a square or rectangle. A triangle is basically a 'half-rectangle'.

$\boxed{\text{Area of a triangle:}}\\\\A = \frac{b*h}{2}\\\\\boxed{\text{Key:}}\\\\\rightarrow \text{B - Base}\\\\\rightarrow \text{H - Height}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

• The area of a triangle is the half the product of the base and height of the triangle.
