Question

A right triangle has its vertices at (3, 4), (-3, 7), and (5, 4). What is the area of the triangle? Use the formula A = 1/2bh where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height.

Answer 1

Area of triangle = Base x Height
2
Given base = b and height = b/2

Area of triangle = (b) (b/2) =1/4 x b over 2
1st option is right
