Question

What is the area of the obtuse triangle given below?

Answer 1

The correct option is A.

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is

`A=(1)/(2)* base * height`

From the given figure it is clear that the base of the triangle is 15 units and the height of the triangle is 13 units.

The area of the triangle is

`A=(1)/(2)* 15 * 13`

`A=97.5`

The area of triangle is 97.5 square units. Therefore option A is correct.

Answer 2

The area of a triangle is 1/2 the base times the height.
The base is 15 and the height is 13.

Area = 1/2 x 15 x 13 = 97.5 sq. units.
The answer is A.
