Question

Is 73.5 the answer? Didn’t get clarification from last tutor.

Answer 1

The are of the triangle is given as follows:

`\text{Area}=(1)/(2)* base* perpendicular\text{ height}`

From the triangle given, we have:

base = 21cm

perpendicular height = 7cm

Thus:

`\text{Area = }(1)/(2)*21*7=(147)/(2)=73.5\text{ square centimeters}`
