Question

The area of one triangle is 150 square centimeters when it's height is 20 centimeters and it's base length is 15 centimeters. What is the area of a triangle having a height of 30 centimeters and a base length of 18 centimeters.

Answer 1

Formula for finding the area of a triangle:
`A = (1)/(2)bh`
Where b is the base and h is the height.

Substitute the variables for the values.


`A = (1)/(2)(30)(18)`

`A = (1)/(2)540`
A = 270

So, the area is 270 square centimeters.
