Question

the base of a triangle is b units long, and the height of the triangle is h units. write a function, a, in two variables to represent the area of the triangle. the function is a(b, h)= (use the operation symbols in the math palette as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The formula for the area of a triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height$.

Step2: Substitute variables

Given base $b$ and height $h$, the function is $A(b,h)=\frac{1}{2}bh$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}bh$
