Question

To find the area of a triangle, you can use the expression b x h/2, where b is the base of the triangle and h is it’s height. What is the area of a triangle with a base of 6 and height of 8

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

equation:½bxh

so ½x6x8

so 6x8 is 48

48/2 is 24cm

Answer 2

The area of the triangle = 24 sq unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of any triangle is = $\frac{1}{2}$ X b X h where b is the base and h is the height

Here, b = 6 and h = 8

so, area = $\frac{1}{2}$ X 6 X 8 square unit

= 24 sq unit

[ since no unit is given, sq unit is written]
