To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}$

Given:

• Base = 10 units
• Height = 5 units

Substitute these values into the formula:

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 5 = \frac{1}{2} \times 50 = 25 \, \text{square units}$

Thus, the area of the triangle is 25 square units.

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

1. What is the area of a triangle if the base is doubled but the height stays the same?
2. How would the area change if the base is 10 units, but the height is reduced to 3 units?
3. What is the area of a triangle with a base of 7 units and a height of 8 units?
4. How can you calculate the height if the area and base of a triangle are known?
5. What is the relationship between the area of a triangle and its perimeter?

Tip: The base and height of a triangle must be perpendicular to each other for the formula to apply.
