Answer:
[tex]Area = 28cm^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is equal to its base time its height and then divided by 2. This can be written as...
[tex]Area = \frac{bh}{2}[/tex]
Therefore the area of the triangle in this case it equal to...
[tex]Area = \frac{bh}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Area = \frac{(8)(7)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Area = \frac{56}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Area = 28cm^{2}[/tex]
