Question

How do you find the area of a triangle base = 5 m, height = 6 m 4 cm?

Answer 1

The area `= color(red)(151,000 cm^2`
or
area `= color(blue)(15.1 m^2`

Explanation:

The area of a triangle when the base `(b)` and height `(h)` are given is

`= color(red)(1/2 xx b xx h.`

Here, `base = 5m = color(red)(500cm`
`height = 6m4cm = color(red)(604cm`

Area = `1/2 xx 500 xx 604`

`= 250 xx 604`
`= color(red)(151,000 cm^2`
