Question

Compute the area of the following triangle. (Express answer in cm^2)

b= 20in
h= 4in
A= ? Cm^2

Answer 1

40in²

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of a triangle is:

`\sf Area = (1)/(2)*Base*Height`

Accordingly, let us solve it now.

`\sf (1)/(2)*Base*Height\\\\\sf (1)/(2)*20*4\\\\40\:in^2`

Answer 2

A = 40 cm^2

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by

A = 1/2 bh where b is the base and h is the height

A = 1/2 ( 20) (4)

A = 40 cm^2
