Question

find the area of a triangle if the base is given 6cm and height is given 4cm

Answer 1

Answer:

12 cm^2

as area of triangle =1/2×base×heigjt

Answer 2

Answer :-

Area of the triangle = 12 cm²

Step-by-step explanation :-

Given:

• Base = 6 cm
• Height = 4 cm

To find:

• Area of triangle = ?

Solution:

An equilateral triangle or an isosceles triangle can be divided into two right angled triangle by drawing a altitude (height) in between them.

When base and height of a triangle are given,

Area of triangle = ½ (Base) × Height

Substitute the given values in the above formula.

Area = ½ (6) × 4

⇒ Area = ½ (24)

⇒ Area = 12 cm²

∴ The area of right angled triangle is 12 cm²
