Question

What is the area of the triangle shown below?614

Answer 1

We are given a triangle whose base is 14 units long, and whose height is 6 units.

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is:

`A=(1)/(2)bh`

So to get the area, we just multiply the base and the height, and then divide the answer by 2.

`\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)*14*6 \\ \\ A=(1)/(2)*84 \\ \\ A=42 \end{gathered}`

The area of the triangle is 42 sq. units.
