Question

State the area of the given triangle.

A: 28 Square Units
B: 24 Square Units
C: 60 Square Units
D: 36 Square Units

Answer 1

24 Square Units (B)

Explanation:

⭐ The formula for the area of any triangle is: 1/2(bh), where b = base, and h = height.

⭐ The height of a triangle is the triangle's altitude, which can be denoted by a straight line with a right angle. In this problem, the height is given to you.

Let's substitute what we are given to find the area.

1. area = 1/2(bh)
2. base = 12 square units
3. height = 4 square units
4. area = 1/2(12*4)
5. area = 1/2(48)
6. ∴ area = 24 square units
