Question

Here is a triangle with the height on the side of the triangle. Use the formula: (1/2)*(Base)*(Height) to find the area of the triangle at the left.

Answer 1

(If one square on the graph = one centimeter)

b = 10cm

h = 10cm

Area

`= (1)/(2) * b * \: h`

`= (1)/(2 ) * 10 * 10`

`= (1)/(2) * 100`

`= 50 {cm}^(2)`
