Question

If side BC serves as the base, state the length

of the height and the base and the area of the
triangle.

Answer 1

Note that:

• 1 square unit = 1 block
• Base of triangle = BC = 12 units
• Height of triangle = 10 units
• Area of triangle = 1/2 x b x h

Now, let's find the area of the triangle.

• 1/2 x b x h
• => 1/2 x 12 x 10
• => 1/2 x 120
• => 60 units²

Final Answer(s):

• Base of triangle: 12 units
• Height of triangle: 10 units
• Area of triangle: 60 units²

Answer 2

Base = 12 units, height = 10 units, Area = 60 sq units

Explanation:

Base = 12 units, height = 10 units, Area = 60 sq units

`Area = (1)/(2) * base * height \\ \\ = (1)/(2) * 12 * 10 \\ \\ = (1)/(2) * 120 \\ \\ = 60 \: {units}^(2)`
