Question

look at the picture above

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = $A=\frac{bh}{2}$

Where b = base and h = height

The shown triangle has a base length of 3 cm and a height of 8 cm

Using these dimensions we plug in the values into the formula

$A=\frac{3*8}{2} \\3*8=24\\\frac{24}{2} =12\\A=12$

Hence, the area of the triangle is 12 square centimeters

Answer 2

Answer:

12 centimeters^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the area of a triangle by multiplying the base and width of the triangle before dividing by 2

Why because if u put 2 triangles together you get a rectangle

3*8=24

24/2=12
