Question

question 6: what is the area of the following triangle? a: 8 ft² b: 12 ft² c: 15 ft² d: 16 ft²

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, $b = 8$ ft and $h=4$ ft.

Step3: Calculate area

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times8\times4=16$ ft²

Answer:

D. 16 ft²
