Question

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 4.8 mm and a height of 3.7
mm? *

Answer 1

8.88 square mm

Explanation:

The formula for solving a triangle is base multiplied by height divided by 2 or 1/2(b)(h)

So by plugging in what you have, you'll get 1/2(4.8)(3.7) as your equation. 4.8(3.7) = 17.76 which simplifies your equation to 1/2(17.76) or 17.76/2.

17.76/2 = 8.88

So, the area of the triangle is 8.88 square millimeters.
