Question

question 6 of 10 what is the area of the triangle below? 15 8 a. 46 sq. units b. 23 sq. units c. 60 sq. units d. 120 sq. units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The area formula for a right - triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$, where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height.

Step2: Identify base and height

Here, the base $b = 15$ and the height $h = 8$.

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute $b = 15$ and $h = 8$ into the formula: $A=\frac{1}{2}\times15\times8=\frac{1}{2}\times120 = 60$.

Answer:

C. 60 sq. units
