Question

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 4 inches and a height of 17 inches?

Answer 1

Area of triangle = 34 in²

Explanation:

Base = 4 inches

Height = 17 inches

`\rm Area \: of \: triangle = (1)/(2) * Base * Height \\ \\ \rm = (1)/(2) * 4 * 17 \\ \\ \rm = 2 * 17 \\ \\ \rm = 34 \: {in}^(2)`

Answer 2

The required area of the ∆:

`\boxed{ \rm{ar( \triangle) = 34 \: {inch.}^(2) }}`

Explanation:

We have:

• Base = 4 inches
• Height = 17 inches

By using Formula, A = 1/2 * bh

⇒ ar(∆) = 1/2 × 4 × 17 inch²

⇒ ar(∆) = 2 × 17 inch²

⇒ ar(∆) = 34 inch²

Thus, The Area of Required ∆ is 34 inch²
