Find the area of the triangle. Enter your answer in the box. An obtuse triangle. The base of the triangle is fourteen millimeters. The long side of the triangle is twenty-seven millimeters. The height of the triangle is twelve millimeters.

Answer 1

Answer: $84\ mm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The long side of a triangle is 27 mm

The length of the base is 14 mm

height of the triangle is 12 mm

The area of a triangle is given by

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{height}$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times 14\times 12\\\\\Rightarrow 84\ mm^2$

Thus, the area of the triangle is $84\ mm^2$
