Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A triangle has a base of 8 m and a height of 5 m. What is its area?
Correct Answer: 20 m²
  • Step 1: Identify the formula for the area of a triangle, which is Area = 1/2 × base × height.
  • Step 2: Substitute the values for the base and height into the formula. The base is 8 m and the height is 5 m.
  • Step 3: Calculate the area by multiplying the base and height: 8 m × 5 m = 40 m².
  • Step 4: Divide the result by 2 to find the area: 40 m² ÷ 2 = 20 m².
  • Area of a Triangle – The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 × base × height.
