Question

what is the area of the triangle? 24 square units 32 square units 48 square units 96 square units mark this and return

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the base and height

From the grid, assume each grid is 1 unit. The base \( b = 8 \) units (count the horizontal length), and the height \( h=6 \) units (count the vertical distance from base to apex).

Step2: Use the triangle area formula

The formula for the area of a triangle is \( A=\frac{1}{2}bh \). Substitute \( b = 8 \) and \( h = 6 \) into the formula:
\( A=\frac{1}{2}\times8\times6 \)
\( A = 4\times6\)
\( A=24 \)

Answer:

24 square units
