Question

The length of the base of a right triangle is 32 centimeters, and the height is 10 centimeters. What is the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

10(32)=320, 320/2 Area=160

Answer 2

160cm^2

Explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 b x h

Given

b = base 32cm

h = height 10cm

Area = 1/2 x 32 x 10

Multiply through

= 320/2

= 160cm^2
