Question

Work out the area of the triangle below: 10cm, 8cm, 10cm.

a) 40 cm²
b) 34 cm²
c) 24 cm²

Answer 1

The area of the triangle is 40 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is 1/2 times base times height. In this case, the base is 10 cm and the height is 8 cm. So the area of the triangle would be:

1/2 times 10 cm times 8 cm = 40 cm²

Therefore, the correct answer is 40 cm² (a).
