Question

If the height of a triangle is 8cm and its base is 5cm, find the area of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

area = 1/2 × base × height.

= 1/2 × 5 × 8

= 20 sq CM.

Answer 2

Given -

The height of triangle is 8 cm

The base of triangle is 5 cm

To find -

Area of triangle

Solution -

As we know that,

Area of triangle =

$\frac{h \times b}{2}$

Where,

h = height of the triangle

b = base of the triangle

By putting the given values in the formula we get

Area of triangle

$= \frac{8 \times 5}{2}$

Area of triangle

$= \frac{40}{2}$

Divide 40 by 2 we get

Area of triangle

$= 20 \: {cm}^{2}$

Hence,

The Area of triangle is 20

${cm}^{2}$
