Question

Find the Area of a Triangle whose base is 8 inches and height is 5 inches Hint Area = 1/2 bh​

Answer 1

area = 20 inches

Explanation:

Area of a triangle =
`(1)/(2)` × Base × Height

=
`(1)/(2)` × 8 ×5

=
`(1)/(2)` × 40

=
`(40)/(2)`

= 20

area = 20 inches

Answer 2

20

Explanation:

This is because If we are looking for arena then we need to multiply the base by the height if we do this then our answer will be 40, but because we are looking at a triangle we will have to devide that by 2. Which will give us the final answer of 20
