Question

what is the area of the triangle? 24 square units 96 square units 32 square units 48 square units

Explanation:

Step1: Find the base and height

Assume each grid is 1 unit. The base of the triangle \( b = 8 \) units (count the horizontal length), the height \( h=6 \) units (count the vertical distance from the base to the opposite vertex).

Step2: Use the triangle area formula

The formula for the area of a triangle is \( A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h \). Substitute \( b = 8 \) and \( h = 6 \) into the formula: \( A=\frac{1}{2}\times8\times6\).
Calculate \( \frac{1}{2}\times8\times6=4\times6 = 24 \) square units.

Answer:

24 square units
