Question

Using the formula for the area of the triangle area equals 1/2 times base times height write an expression for the area of triangle ABC. The line BD bisects the line AC perpendicularity hence this has made triangle ABD and BCD right triangles

Answer 1

Using the formula:

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

Where:

b = base

h = height

From the diagram:

b = AC

h = BD

So:

`A=(AC\cdot BD)/(2)`
