Question

the area of the triangle below is ____ sq. units.
a. 33
b. 66
c. 50
d. 25

Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle area formula

The area of a right triangle is given by \( A=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{height} \).

Step2: Identify base and height

Here, base \( = 22 \) units and height \( = 3 \) units.

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute into the formula: \( A=\frac{1}{2}\times22\times3 \). First, \( 22\times3 = 66 \), then \( \frac{1}{2}\times66 = 33 \).

Answer:

A. 33
