The area formula of the triangle is A = 0.5 · b · h, where b = 14 in and h = 16 in. The area of the figure is equal to 112 square inches.
How to determine the area of a triangle
In this problem we must compute the area of triangle, whose dimensions (base, height) are known. The area of the triangle can be found by using the following formula:
A = 0.5 · b · h
Where:
- A - Area, in square inches.
- b - Base, in inches.
- h - Height, in inches.
First, write the formula of the triangle:
A = 0.5 · b · h
Second, plug in the variables:
b = 14 in, h = 16 in
Third, compute the area of the triangle:
A = 0.5 · (14 in) · (16 in)
A = 112 in²
