Question

Find the area of the shaded triangle.

Answer 1

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

you start by finding the base (b) which is 4 then you find the height (h) which is 6 they was you find these is that you start with (b) go to the bottom of the triangle. Then to a corner and start like a line segment you go 0 1 2 3 4, and find that it's 4 so then we go on to (h). We go all the way to the point of the triangle then down like a line segment again so 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 and you see that its 6 so you multiply 6 and 4 (6x4) which is 24 then divide by 2 (24/2) then you get your answer which is 12.

Answer 2

12 units square

Explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

From inspection of the diagram, base = 4 units and height = 6 units

Therefore, area = 1/2 x 4 x 6 = 1/2 x 24 = 12 units square
