Question

The height of a right triangle is √6 units and the base is √9 units. Find the area of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C  

Step-by-step explanation:

First evaluate √6 and √9

• √9 =  3
• √6 ≈ 2.4

We are given that 3 is the base and height is about 2.4

Now let's find the area:

$A=\frac{h_bb}{2} =\frac{2.45*3}{2}$ ≈ $3.67423$

Now that we have the area, let's evaluate the options.

√45  ≈ 6.7

√15 ≈ 3.9

3√6/2 ≈ 3.7 (No need for more steps as we've found the answer).

3√6/2 equals the area of the triangle which was 3.67423...

Hence, the answer would be Option C. 3√6/2
