Question

What's the area of the following triangle?

A. 24 ft.²

B. 128 ft.²

C. 12 ft.²

D. 64 ft.²

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

here b = 16 and h = 8 , then

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 16 × 8 = 8 × 8 = 64 ft²
