Question

In triangle ABC, BC = 12 cm and height AD = 8 cm. Find the area of triangle ABC. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Area of triangle ABC is 48cm²

Step-by-step Explanation :

( Please see the attached document for diagram )

Given : In ∆ABC,

Base (BC) = 12cm

Height (AD) = 8cm

To find : Area of triangle ABC

We know that,

Area of Triangle = 1/2 × base × height

So,

Area of ∆ABC = 1/2 × BC × AD

Substituting the given value in above formula we get,

Area of ∆ABC = 1/2 × 12 × 8

= 48cm²

Hence the Area of triangle ABC is 48cm²
