Question

What is the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

A = 48 in.^2

Explanation:

Area of triangle = (Base * height) / 2

Area of triangle = (24*4)/2

Area of triangle = 48 in.^2

Answer 2

A = 48 in²

Explanation:

The area (A) of the triangle is calculated as

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

Here b = 24 and h = 4 , then

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 24 × 4 = 12 × 4 = 48 in²
