Question

a right triangle has a height of 20 centimeters and a base of 10 centimeters.what is the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

The area of the right triangle is 100 centimeters squared.

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a right triangle is:

`Area = (a*b)/(2)`

Area = (a*b) / 2

The height of a triangle is represented by a. The base is represented by b.

Knowing this, we can use what they give us for the values, by plugging them into the formula.

a is 20 cenimeters

b is 10 centimeters

Therefore :

`Area = (200)/(2)`

`Area = 100`

So, the area of the right triangle is 100 centimeters squared.
