Question

2 multiple choice 1 point what is the area of the triangle? 4 cm 6 cm a 10 cm² b 12 cm² c 24 cm² d 48 cm²

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: Identify the base and height

From the figure, the base \(b = 6\space cm\) and the height \(h=4\space cm\).

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula

Substitute \(b = 6\) and \(h = 4\) into \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h\). So \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times6\times4\).
First, calculate \(6\times4 = 24\), then \(\frac{1}{2}\times24=12\).

Answer:

B. \(12\space cm^{2}\)
