Question

question 9 of 10 what is the area of the obtuse triangle given below? a. 128 sq. units b. 64 sq. units c. 24 sq. units d. 32 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 figure, the base $b = 16$ and the height $h=8$.

Step3: Calculate the area

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times16\times8 = 64$ square units.

Answer:

B. 64 sq. units
