Question

The are A of a triangle with base b and height h is given by A = 1\2 by. Find the area when b= 24 m and h=30 m

Answer 1

Given

The area of the triangle is,

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

And, b=24m and h=30m.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The area of the triangle is,

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

And, b=24m and h=30m.

Then,

The area of the triangle is,

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\times24\times30 \\ =12\times30 \\ =360m^2 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the area of the triangle is 360m².
