Question

How do you find the area of the triangle with the base of 5.5 (cm) and a height of 5.5 cm?

Answer 1

Area of the triangle `= color(red)(15.125 cm^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 = 5.5cm`
`height = 5.5cm`

Area = `1/2 xx 5.5 xx 5.5`

`= 1/2 xx 30.25`
`= color(red)(15.125 cm^2`
