Answer:
C. 1/2(4)(8)
Explanation:
The area of a triangle is found using the triangle area formula and the dimensions given in the image.
Formula
The formula for the area of a triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh
where b is the base of the triangle (the length of one side), and h is the perpendicular distance (height) to the opposite vertex.
Application
In the given figure, the height from vertex A to the line containing segment BC is shown as 4 units. The length of segment BC is shown as 8 units. Using these values in the area formula, we find the area to be ...
