Question

Find the area of the following shape:

Answer 1

60 cm squared

Explanation:

The 13 cm is just to distract you.

The formula for calculating a triangle is (base x height)/2.

The base is 10 cm, and the height is 12 cm.

Then you plug in the numbers.

(10 x 12)/2=60 cm squared.

Answer 2

the area is 1/2 base x height

so (1/2)x10 x 12
