Question

question 9 of 25 which expression gives the area of the triangle shown below? a. ($\frac{1}{2}z$)($\frac{1}{2}w$) b. ($\frac{1}{2}x$)($\frac{1}{2}y$)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

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

Step2: Identify base and height

In the given triangle, the base is $z$ and the height is $w$.

Step3: Calculate area

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

Answer:

There is no correct option among the given ones. The correct expression for the area of the triangle is $\frac{1}{2}zw$.
