Question

Find the area of a triangle that has a base of 16 inches and a height of 5 inches.

10.5 in2
21 in 2
40 in2
80 in 2

Answer 1

I think the answer is C (40)

Explanation:

This is because the formula to get the area of a triangle is b x h / 1/2

(base x height divided by 1/2)

16 x 5 = 80

80 / 1/2 = 40

(1/2 is also the same as 2)
