Question

How do you find the area of a triangle? Is it base x height divided by 2???

Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

`\boxed{(b*h)/(2)}`

You should be correct.

Here’s why:

• The given formula for a triangle is similar to the formula for area of a square or rectangle. A triangle is basically a 'half-rectangle'.

`\boxed{\text{Area of a triangle:}}\\\\A = (b*h)/(2)\\\\\boxed{\text{Key:}}\\\\\rightarrow \text{B - Base}\\\\\rightarrow \text{H - Height}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

• The area of a triangle is the half the product of the base and height of the triangle.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

Answer 2

yes The area of a triangle is b x h / 2 (base times height divided by 2)
