Question

Find the area of a triangle in which base is 16.8 m and height is 75cm

Answer 1

Area of Triangle = 1/2 bh

=1/2x 16.8 x 0.75 m
=12.6/2 =6.3m

Answer 2

Given:

Base of triangle=16.8 m

Height of triangle =75 cm

To find:

The area of the triangle

Solution:

1m=100 cm

75 cm=75/100 m

We know that

The area of triangle=$\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

Using the formula

The area of triangle=$\frac{1}{2}\times 16.8 \times 75/100$

The area of triangle=$8.4 m\times 75/100$

The area of triangle=$6.3m^2$

Hence, the area of triangle=$6.3 m^2$
