Question

Compute the area of the triangle. (Express answer in cm²)

h = 4 cm

b = 13 cm

Answer 1

area = 26 cm²

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is: area =
`(1)/(2)bh`

Where b = the length of the base and h = height.

In the given problem h = 4 cm and b = 13 cm, so we can plug these values into the equation and multiply:

area =
`(1)/(2)(4)(13)=(1)/(2)(52)=26cm^(2)`.
