Question

Find the area of each triangle.

Answer 1

a) 30 square units

b) 36 square units

c) 18 square units

Explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

Part (a)

Base = 10

Height = 6

⇒ Area = 1/2 × base × height

= 1/2 × 10 × 6

= 30 units²

Part (b)

• Base = 12
• Height = 6

⇒ Area = 1/2 × base × height

= 1/2 × 12 × 6

= 36 units²

Part (c)

• Base = 6
• Height = 6

⇒ Area = 1/2 × base × height

= 1/2 × 6 × 6

= 18 units²
