Question

what is the area of the shown triangle given below? diagram of triangle with base 14 (assumed) and height (assumed) + multiple-choice options a, b, c, d with text like \sq. units\

Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle area formula

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

Step2: Identify base and height

From the diagram (assuming base $b = 14$ and height $h = 3$).

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute $b = 14$ and $h = 3$ into the formula: $A=\frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 3$. First, $\frac{1}{2} \times 14 = 7$, then $7 \times 3 = 21$.

Answer:

21 sq. units (assuming the base is 14 and height is 3, since the area of a triangle is $\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height = \frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 3 = 21$)
