Question

finding the area of a triangle. what information relevant to calculating area do we have available for this triangle? base and height sas sss. what is the area of this triangle calculated to the nearest hundredth of a square unit?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify available info

We have two - side lengths (12 and 10), but no included - angle or height information. So we assume we don't have base and height, SAS or SSS fully available. However, if we assume this is a right - triangle with legs 10 and 12, we can use the base and height formula.

Step2: Apply area formula

The area formula for a triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$. If we take $b = 10$ and $h = 12$, then $A=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times12$.
$A = 60$

Answer:

60
