Question

To find the area of a triangle, you can use the expression b times h divided by 2, where b is the base of the triangle and h is it’s height. What is the area of a triangle with a base of 8 and a height of 4?

Answer 1

16 sq. units

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle:

• A = 1/2bh

If base and height are known as:

• b = 8 units and h = 4 units

Then the area is:

• A = 1/2*8*4 = 16 sq. units
