question 5 of 10 what is the area of the triangle below? a. 25 sq. units b. 136 sq. units c. 68 sq. units d. 50 sq. units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The area formula for a triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$, where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height.

Step2: Identify base and height

From the triangle, $b = 17$ and $h=8$.

Step3: Calculate the area

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times17\times8=\frac{1}{2}\times136 = 68$ square - units.

Answer:

C. 68 sq. units
