Question

Find the area of the triangle

Answer 1

32

Explanation:

formula for area of a triangle =
`A=(bh)/(2)`

where b = base length and h = height

The triangle shown has the following the dimensions

base length = 2 + 6 = 8m

height = 8m

Using these dimensions we plug in the values into the formula

`A=(8*8)/(2) \\8*8=64\\(64)/(2) =32`

Hence, the area of the triangle is 32 square meters

Answer 2

32 m^2

Explanation:

Area = 8 x (2 + 6) x 1/2

Area = 8 x 8 x 1/2

Area = 64 x 1/2

Area = 32

Hope that helps! :)
