Question

What is the area of the right triangle below​

Answer 1

8 units²

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is a=
`(bh)/(2)`, where a is area, b is base length, and h is height.

If we substitute b with 8 and 2 with h, we get a=
`(2*8)/(2)`.

This can be immediately simplified to 8 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.
