Question

What is the area in square meters of the triangle below

Answer 1

ANSWER :

24 m^2

EXPLANATION :

Recall the area formula of a triangle :

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

From the problem, the base of the triangle is b = 6 m and the height is h = 8 m

Using the formula above :

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}(6)(8) \\ A=24\text{ }m^2 \end{gathered}$
