Question

Find the area of this triangle.

Answer 1

120 ft²

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of a triangle is :

Area =
`(1)/(2)` × base × height

Given that,

base ⇒ 30 ft

height ⇒ 8 ft

Let us solve it now.

Area =
`(1)/(2)` × base × height

Area =
`(1)/(2)` × 30 ft × 8 ft

Area =
`(1)/(2)` × 240 ft²

Area = 120 ft²

Answer 2

❍ Explanation -:

In this question we are provided with the base and height of a triangle. We are asked to calculate the area of the triangle.

Base = 30 feet

Height = 8 feet

We know,

`\large \star \: \small\boxed{ \rm{ Area_((triangle)) = (1)/(2) × b × h}}`

Where,

• b stand for base
• h stand for height

Substituting the values we get

`\small\sf{ Area_((triangle)) = \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}} × 30 × \cancel{8} \: \: 4}`

`\longmapsto \small\rm Area_((triangle)) = 30 × 4`

`\small \underline{ \boxed{\sf {Area_((triangle)) =120 \: {feet}^(2) }}}`

Hence,the area of the triangle is 120 feet².
