Question

Find the area of the following geometric figure

area of a triangle with
ase of 15 m and altitude of 12 m.
​

Answer 1

The area of the triangle is 90 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the base of the triangle is 15 m

The altitude of the triangle is 12 m

Area of the triangle:

The area of the triangle can be determined using the formula,

`Area=(1)/(2)bh`

where b is the base and h is the altitude

Thus, we have,

`b=15` and
`h=12`

Substituting the values in the above formula, we get,

`Area=(1)/(2)(15)(12)`

Multiplying the terms, we get,

`Area=(180)/(2)`

Dividing, we get,

`Area=90 \ m^2`

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 90 m²
