Answer 2

The area of the triangle is 1/20 cm²

The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is expressed as;

A = 1/2bh

Such that the parameters are;

• A is the area of the triangle
• b is the base of the triangle
• h is the height of the triangle

Now, substitute the values, we have;

Area = 1/2 × 1/6 × 3/5

Multiply the values, we get;

Area = 3/60

Area = 1/20 cm²
