Question

find the following measurements of the triangle shown. base = 80 units height = 40 units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the area formula for a triangle

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

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \(base = 80\) units and \(height=40\) units. Substitute these into the formula: \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times80\times40\).
First, calculate \(80\times40 = 3200\). Then, \(\frac{1}{2}\times3200=1600\).

Answer:

The area of the triangle is \(1600\) square units.
