Question

In a triangle, if one side is 7 cm and its corresponding height 4 cm, find its area.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

base=7cm

height=4cm

area of triangle=1/2*base*height

=1/2*7*4

=1/2*28

=14

Answer=14

Answer 2

Given:

In a triangle, one side is 7 cm and its corresponding height is 4 cm.

To find:

The area of a triangle.

Solution:

The area of a triangle is 14 cm2.

To answer this question, we will follow the following steps:

First of all, we should know that in a triangle, if one side is 'b' units and its corresponding height is 'h' units, then the area of a triangle is given by:

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

Now,

As given in the question, we have,

The length of one side of the triangle = 7 cm

The corresponding height of triangle = 4 cm

So,

Its area

$= \frac{1}{2} \times 7 \times 4$

$= 14 \: cm2$

Hence, the area of a triangle is 14 cm2.
