Question

find the area of a triangle whose base is 15 cm and corresponding altitude is 6 cm

Answer 1

area of triangle is half base x altitude therefore area = 45 cm^2

Answer 2

Given,

The base of a triangle = 15 cm

The altitude of a triangle = 6 cm

To Find,

The area of the triangle =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:
The altitude and base of a triangle are given to us. We need to find its area.

We know that the area of a right-angled triangle is given as:

$Area = \frac{1}{2} *b*h$

Where $b =$ base of the triangle

            $h =$ height/altitude of the triangle

To find the area, we will substitute the given values in the above formula.

$Area = \frac{1}{2} *15*6$

         $= 15*3$

         $= 45 cm^{2}$

Hence, the area of the triangle is 45 cm^2.
