Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Area of a triangle is 1/2(base×height)

The base here is r and the height is

X

Answer 2

`\frac {1} {2} r x`

Explanation:

There is a triangle given with the base r, sides p and q and height x.

We are to determine whether which of the given answer options gives the area of the given triangle.

Formula for the area of the triangle is given by:
`(1)/(2)` ×
`base` × height

Substituting the given values in the formula to get:

Area of the triangle =
`\frac {1} {2} r x`
