Question

1. complete the table by determining the area for each triangle, given the base and height.

	triangle a	triangle b	triangle c	triangle d
height (units)	6	5	3	5
area (square units)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

Area of triangle $A = \frac{1}{2}bh$

Step2: Calculate for Triangle A

$A_A=\frac{1}{2}\times8\times6 = 24$

Step3: Calculate for Triangle B

$A_B=\frac{1}{2}\times16\times5 = 40$

Step4: Calculate for Triangle C

$A_C=\frac{1}{2}\times3\times3 = 4.5$

Step5: Calculate for Triangle D

$A_D=\frac{1}{2}\times10.5\times5 = 26.25$

Answer:

Triangle	Area (square units)
B	40
C	4.5
D	26.25
