Question

To find the area of a triangle, you can use the expression b × h ÷ 2, where b is the base of the triangle and h is its height. What is the area of a triangle with a base of 8 and a height of 4?

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

b x h is finding a square or rectangle, but since a triangle is half of a rectangle or square you can divide that by 2. So, 8 (b) x 4 (h) = 32, 32 / 2 = 16. Hope this helps! :D
