Question

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 15cm and a height of 2cm

Answer 1

15 cm squared

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is:
`(bh)/(2)`, where b denotes base and h denotes height.

In the problem, we see that the base is 15, so b = 15, and the height is 2, so

h = 2. Now, we just plug these values into the equation:

A =
`(2*15)/(2)` = 15

Thus, our answer is 15 cm squared.

Answer 2

`15*2=30`

`30/2=15cm` squared

Explanation:

the formula for the area of a triangle is base x height divided by 2
