Question

question 7 of 10
what is the area of the triangle given below?
a. 11 sq. units
b. 8 sq. units
c. 22 sq. units
d. 13 sq. units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle area formula

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

Step2: Identify base and height

From the diagram, the base of the triangle is 11 units and the height is 2 units.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

Substitute base = 11 and height = 2 into the formula: $A = \frac{1}{2} \times 11 \times 2$.

Step4: Simplify the expression

First, multiply 11 and 2: $11 \times 2 = 22$. Then, multiply by $\frac{1}{2}$: $\frac{1}{2} \times 22 = 11$.

Answer:

A. 11 sq. units
