Question

What is the area of the obtuse triangle below?

Answer 1

Given:

The figured of an obtuse triangle.

To find:

The area of the triangle.

Solution:

We know that, the area of a triangle is

`Area=(1)/(2)* Base* height`

From the given figure it is clear that the height of the triangle is 9 and the base is 22. So, the area of the triangle is

`Area=(1)/(2)* 22* 9`

`Area=11* 9`

`Area=99`

The area of the given triangle is 99 sq. units.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
