Question

The area of a triangle is given by the formula A = 1 2bh, where A is the area, b is the length of the base, and h is the triangle's height. Of a triangle has a base 5 meters long and a height twice the length of the base, find its area.

Answer 1

Answer: The area of triangle is 25 sq. meters.

Explanation:

Given : Area of a triangle =
`(1)/(2)bh` m, where b= base of triangle

h= height of triangle.

If a triangle has 5 meters long base and a height twice the length of the base,

that means b = 5 meters and h= 2(5) = 19=0 meters

Then the area of triangle becomes
`A=(1)/(2)(5)(10)=25 m^2` [Put alll values in the given formula]

Hence, the area of triangle is 25 sq. meters.
