Question

area of triangles
using a formula to find the area of a triangle
find the area of the triangle.
the area of the triangle is

square 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: Identify the base and height

From the figure, the base \(b = 8\) units and the height \(h=10\) units.

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula

\(A=\frac{1}{2}\times8\times10\).
First, calculate \(8\times10 = 80\). Then, \(\frac{1}{2}\times80=40\).

Answer:

40
