question 6 of 10
what is the area of the triangle given below?
image of a triangle with base labeled 14 and height labeled 5
a. 38 sq. units
b. 70 sq. units
c. 19 sq. units
d. 35 sq. units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a triangle

The formula for the area of a triangle is $A = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height$.

Step2: Identify the base and height from the diagram

From the given triangle, the base ($b$) is 14 units and the height ($h$) is 5 units.

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula

Substitute $b = 14$ and $h = 5$ into the formula: $A=\frac{1}{2}\times14\times5$.
First, calculate $\frac{1}{2}\times14 = 7$.
Then, multiply 7 by 5: $7\times5 = 35$.
So the area of the triangle is 35 square units.

Answer:

D. 35 sq. units
