Answer:

A=hb/2

To calculate the area of a triangle, multiply the height by the width (this is also known as the 'base') then divide by 2. Find the area of a triangle where height = 5 cm and width = 8 cm. A triangle is always half the area of a rectangle with the same height and width.

Hey there!

“ What's the formula for the area of a triangle?”

The area of triangle formula is:

A = hbB/2

Whereas “hb” is your “height base” & “b” is your “base”

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
