Answer 2

Answer:

The area of a triangle is $33.6 cm^2$.

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to the question asked,

We have to find the area of a triangle,

As per the data given in the question,

We have,

The base of a triangle = 16cm

The height of a triangle = 4.2cm

The formula to calculate a triangle's area is half the product of its base and height.

$=> A = \frac{1}{2}\times b \times h$

Now, substitute the given values in the above formula we get

$=> A = \frac{1}{2}\times 16 \times 4.2$

Multiplying 16 and 4.2 we get

$=> A = \frac{1}{2}\times 67.2$

Now, express $\frac{1}{2}$ and $67.2$ as a single fraction

$=> A = \frac{1\times 67.2}{2}$

$=> A = \frac{ 67.2}{2}$

Divide 67.2 by 2, we get

$=> A = 33.6cm^2$

Hence, the required solution is $33.6 cm^2$.
