Question

1. find the following measurements of the triangle shown. a) base = 80 units b) height = 40 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: Substitute the given values of base and height

Given \(base = 80\) units and \(height=40\) units. Substitute these into the formula: \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times80\times40\).
First, calculate \(80\times40 = 3200\). Then, \(\frac{1}{2}\times3200=1600\).

Answer:

The area of the triangle is \(1600\) square units.
