Question

Find the area of a triangle whose base is 8 cm and altitude is half of its base​

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

formula is

half x base x height

1/2 x 8 x 4

=1/2 x 8 =4

=4 x 4 is 16

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\color{yellow}ANSWER$

Two right angled triangles can be seen in the above diagram

Half the base of the triangle will be taken for calculating the value since we are considering two right angled triangles.

base = 4cm

Height/altitude = 4cm

Therefore, we can use the formula

$2 \times \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height \\ = 2 \times \frac{1}{2} \times 4cm \times 4cm \\ = 4cm \times 4cm \\ = 16cm^{2}$
