Question

What is the area of the triangle shown above?

32 square units
48 square units
60 square units
80 square units

Answer 1

A = 48 units²

Explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` × base × height

here base = 16 and height = 6 , then

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 16 × 6 = 8 × 6 = 48 units²
