Answer:

Multiply height by width then divide it by 2.

10(height) x 10(width) = 100. 100/2 = 50

Answer:


A=(1)/(2)bh

Explanation:

In the formula listed above, "A" represents the area of the triangle, "b" represents the base of the triangle, and "h" is the height/altitude of the triangle.

This makes sense because the area of a square is base*height and a triangle is half of a square.
