Question

Which equation can be used to calculate the area of the shaded triangle in the figure below?

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated using the formula

A =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

here b = 14 and h = 4, hence

A =
`(1)/(2)` (14 × 4) = 28
