Question

The length of the base of a scalene triangle is 22 meters and the height is 14 meters. Find the area of the scalene triangle

Answer 1

Area is 154 square meters

Explanation:

Well lets think about this

If I take a rectangle and cut it into half diagonally I would get 2 triangles right?

So if I have 2 triangles of the same height and base I can make a rectangle

to find the area of a rectangle I do length times width

So lets take our scalene triangle and multiply our base with its width and then divide by 2

22*14 = 308

308/2 is 154
