Question

A triangle has a base height of 40cm a perpendicular height of 25cm. What is the area of the triangle​

Answer 1

500 cm²

Explanation:

• Base height = 40 cm
• Perpendicular height = 25 cm

Using formulae for area of triangle,

We know that,

• Area of Triangle = B•H/2

Where

• B = base = 40 cm
• H = height = 25 cm

Substituting them,

• (40*25)/2

Simplifying,

• 1000/2
• 500 cm²

Hence the area of triangle is 500 cm².

Answer 2

500 square cm

Explanation:

A = (1/2)(40)(25) = 500 square cm
