Question

Which is the area of triangle BCD

Answer 1

6 squared cm

Explanation:

The height of a triangle is length of the segment that is perpendicular to the base. So that length is 2cm here.

The base and the height of the triangle should be perpendicular. So the base is 6cm

The area of a triangle is 1/2 * b * h.

1/2 * b * h

1/2 *6 * 2

3 * 2

6

The answer is 6 squared cm

Answer 2

A. 6 square centimeters

Explanation:

The formula of an area of a triangle:

`A_\triangle=(bh)/(2)`

b - base

h - height

In ΔBCD we have b = 6cm, and h = 2cm.

Substitute:

`A_(\triangle BCD)=((6)(2))/(2)=(12)/(2)=6\ cm^2`
