Question

6 m5 mMFind the area of the triangle pictured above.square meters

Answer 1

15 aquare meters

Explanation:

Formula for right angle triangle is

1/2 * b*h

b=base

h=height

according to pic

height= 6m

base= 5m

so..

1/2* 5*6

= 15 m^2

As it

Answer us 15 square meters

Answer 2

We have a right triangle. The sides with length 6 m and 5 m are perpendicular, so we can calculate the area of the triangle as:

`A=(b\cdot h)/(2)=(5\cdot6)/(2)=(30)/(2)=15^{}`

NOTE: to use this formula, b and h have to be segments that are perpendicular to each other. In this case, there is a 90 degree angle between the segments, so they are perpendicular.

Answer: the area is 15 square meters.
