Answer 1

The correct answer is option A. 15 square inches

Explanation:

Points to remember

Area of triangle = bh/2

b - Base of triangle

h - Height of triangle

To find the area of triangle

Here base b = 10 inches and

height h = 3 inches

Area = bh/2

= (10 * 3)/2

= 30/2 = 15 square inches

The correct answer is option A. 15 square inches

Answer 2

Option A: 15 square inches

Explanation:

Given

`Base = 10 inches\\Height = 3 inches`

We know that the formula for the area of triangle is:

`Area=(1)/(2)*base*height\\ = 0.5*10*3\\= 15`

So the area is 15 square inches.

We can conclude that option A: 15 square inches is the correct answer ..
