Question

Which measurement is closest to the area of the triangle in square centimeters? A 63 cm2 B 42.75 cm2 С 35.5 cm2 D 31.5 cm2

Answer 1

The measurement shows that the base of the triangle is approximately 7 cm

while the height is approximately 9cm

The area of the triangle is given by

`\text{Area = }(1)/(2)\text{ x base x height}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Area =}(1)/(2)\text{ x 7 x 9} \\ \text{Area = }(63)/(2)cm^2 \\ \\ \text{Area = 31.5cm}^2 \end{gathered}`

Option D is the closest to the answer
