Question

what is the area of the triangle given below? a. 32 sq. units b. 52 sq. units c. 26 sq. units d. 17 sq. units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle area formula

The area of a triangle is $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$

Step2: Substitute given values

Base = 13 units, Height = 4 units.
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 13 \times 4$

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{1}{2} \times 13 \times 4 = 13 \times 2 = 26$

Answer:

C. 26 sq. units
