Question

What is the area of a triangle that has a height of 10 feet and a base of 6 feet?A. 16 feet squaredO B. 30 feet squaredO C.35 feet squaredD. 60 feet squared

Answer 1

Th formula for the area of the triangle is as follows.

`A=(bh)/(2)`

where b is the base of the triangle and h is its height.

Substitute the given values into the formula and then simplify.

`\begin{gathered} A=((6)(10))/(2) \\ =(60)/(2) \\ =30 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 30 square feet, which is option B.
