Question

A triangle has a base of 4 m and a height of 3 m.What is the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

Answer: 6m².

Step-by-step explanation

Given

• Triangle

• Base: 4 m.

,

• Height: 3 m.

Procedure

The area of a triangle (A) is given by the following formula:

`A=(1)/(2)b\cdot h`

where b represents the base and h the height.

In our problem, we are given that b = 4m and h = 3. Thus, we can replace the values in the formula:

`A=(1)/(2)\cdot4\cdot3`

Simplifying:

`A=(1)/(2)*12`
`A=(12)/(2)`
`A=6m^2`
