Question

find the area. 12 cm 10 cm a =? 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

Here, the base \(b = 10\space cm\) and the height \(h=12\space cm\).

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula

Substitute \(b = 10\) and \(h = 12\) into \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h\). So, \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times12\).
First, calculate \(10\times12 = 120\). Then, \(\frac{1}{2}\times120=60\).

Answer:

\(60\)
