Question

What is the area of a triangle with a height of 13 cm and a base of a 10 cm?

Answer 1

Greetings!

The Formula for the Area of a Triangle is:
`A= (bh)/(2)`

Input the values we already know:

`A= (10*13)/(2)`

Solve for A.

`A= (130)/(2)`


`A= (130)/(2)`


`A=65`

The Answer Is:

`\left[\begin{array}{ccc}A=65\end{array}\right]`

The Area of the Triangle is 65 cm²

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Area of a triangle is equal to 1/2 b(h) so since you already have the height and base, all you need to do is input it back into the equation:


`(1)/(2)` (10)(13)


Multiply 10 & 13 to equal


`(1)/(2)` (130)

Then take half of 130 to get

A = 65
`cm^(2)`
