Question

Look at the picture above

Answer 1

12 centimeters^2

Explanation:

We find the area of a triangle by multiplying the base and width of the triangle before dividing by 2

Why because if u put 2 triangles together you get a rectangle

3*8=24

24/2=12

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

Area of a triangle =
`A=(bh)/(2)`

Where b = base and h = height

The shown triangle has a base length of 3 cm and a height of 8 cm

Using these dimensions we plug in the values into the formula

`A=(3*8)/(2) \\3*8=24\\(24)/(2) =12\\A=12`

Hence, the area of the triangle is 12 square centimeters
