Given:

Area of Reactangle ABCD = 36 cm².

To find:

Area of ∆ABP?

Calculation:

Area of Rectangle = 36 cm²

=> Length × Breadth = 36

=> AB × BC = 36 . . . . . (1)

We know that area of a ∆ is given as :

\boxed{\sf Area  \: of \: \Delta =  \dfrac{1}{2}  \times base \times height}

From the figure, we can see that base is AB and height is equal and parallel to BC.

 \sf Area  \: of \: \Delta =  \dfrac{1}{2}  \times AB \times BC

 \sf Area  \: of \: \Delta =  \dfrac{1}{2}  \times  36

 \sf Area  \: of \: \Delta =  18 \:  {cm}^{2}

So, area of ∆ = 18 cm².
