Question

What is the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

Remember that to find a triangle's area, use the formula area = 1/2 * base * height. Using this formula you can see that with a base of 12m and a height of 8m the answer is 48m

Answer 2

Calculating the area of a triangle:

`A=(1)/(2)bh`

• A = area

• b = base
• h = height

1. determine base and height measurements

• the base is always the side length that forms a perpendicular line with the opposite vertex.

2. apply the formula

`A=(1)/(2)(12m)(8m)\\`

`A = 48m^2`
