Question

What is the area of a right triangle with a height of 8.9 cm and a base of 14.3 cm

Answer 1

Answer: 63.635 cm^2

Explanation:

A right triangle is equal to half the area of a square or rectangle(length x width).

Thinking of the triangle as a rectangle first gives:

8.9 x 14.3 = 127.27

Now, a right triangle is half of this:

127.27 / 2 = 63.635
