Question

Find the area of the triangle.
Answer options: 24, 5.5, 11, 12

Answer 1

= 12

Explanation:

Area of a triangle is given by the formula;

1/2bh; where b is the base length and h is the perpendicular height

b = 6 units and h = 4 units

Thus;

Area = 1/2 × 6 × 4

= 12 square units

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is

A = 1/2 b *h

The base is 6 units (from -2 to 4)

The height is 4 units ( from 1 to 5)

A = 1/2 6*4

= 1/2 (24)

= 12 units^2
