Question

In this triangle, a = 6 cm, b = 8 cm, and c = 10 cm.

What is the area of this triangle?


24 cm²

30 cm²

40 cm²

48 cm²

Answer 1

A) 24 cm²

Explanation:

Area of a triangle formula:

A = 0.5bh

Given:

b = 6

h = 8

Work:

A = 0.5bh

A = 0.5(6)(8)

A = 3(8)

A = 24

Answer 2

Right answer is option A

24 cm²

Explanation:

• To find :-

The area of triangle

• Given :-

a = 6 cm, b = 8 cm, c = 10 cm

• Solution :-

He know

`\mathfrak {Area \: of \: triangle = (1)/(2) * base * height}`

Here (a) acts like base

while (b) acts like height

Now substituting the values

`\sf \longmapsto Area = (1)/(2) * a * b \\ \\ \\ \sf \longmapsto Area = (1)/(2) * 6 * 8 \\ \\ \\ \sf \longmapsto Area = 3 * 8 \\ \\ \\ \sf \purple{\boxed {\longmapsto Area = 24 \: {cm}^(2) }}`
