Question

What is the area of the triangle 9 2 12

Answer 1

The given diagram is a traingle with base 12 units, height 4 units, and one side 9 units.

Since base (b) and height (h) are known, we can use the following formula for the area (A) of the triangle,

`A=(1)/(2)bh`

Substitute the values and simplify the expression,

`\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)*12*4 \\ A=6*4 \\ A=24 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the area of the given triangle is 24 square units.
