Question

The height of a right triangle is √6 units and the base is √9 units. Find the area of the triangle.

Answer 1

Option C

Explanation:

First evaluate √6 and √9

• √9 = 3
• √6 ≈ 2.4

We are given that 3 is the base and height is about 2.4

Now let's find the area:

`A=(h_bb)/(2) =(2.45*3)/(2)` ≈
`3.67423`

Now that we have the area, let's evaluate the options.

√45 ≈ 6.7

√15 ≈ 3.9

3√6/2 ≈ 3.7 (No need for more steps as we've found the answer).

3√6/2 equals the area of the triangle which was 3.67423...

Hence, the answer would be Option C. 3√6/2
