Question

Find the area of the triangle.

11 square units
5.5 square units
12 square units
24 square units

Answer 1

12 units squared

Explanation:

height=4

base=5

area is h times b times 1/2

Area=12

Answer 2

Area of a triangle = 1/2bh

length of base (b) = 4-(-2) = 6

height (h) = 5-1 = 4

area = 1/2(6)(4) = 12 units squared

answer: 12 units squared
