Answer 1

$\text{Area of the triangle = 20 units}^2$

Explanation:$\text{Area of triangle = 1/2 base }\times\text{ he}ight$

The given triangle is not the regular drawing of a triangle. We need to identify the height and base.

From the diagram, the height = 10

base = 4

Substitute the values:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Area of the triangle = }\frac{1}{2}\times\text{ 10}\times4 \\ \text{Area of the triangle = 20 units}^2 \end{gathered}$
