Question

A triangle has a base of 4 m and a height of 3 m.What is the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

Answer: 6m².

Explanation

Given

• Triangle

• Base: 4 m.

,

• Height: 3 m.

Procedure

The area of a triangle (A) is given by the following formula:

$A=\frac{1}{2}b\cdot h$

where b represents the base and h the height.

In our problem, we are given that b = 4m and h = 3. Thus, we can replace the values in the formula:

$A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot4\cdot3$

Simplifying:

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times12$$A=\frac{12}{2}$$A=6m^2$
