The image shows a triangle with a base of 20 meters (split into two 10-meter segments) and a height of 13 meters.

If you are asked to find the area of this triangle, the formula to use is:

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

Given:

• Base = 20 meters
• Height = 13 meters

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 13 = 130 \, \text{square meters}$

Would you like more details or further clarification?

Here are 5 related questions you can explore:

1. What is the perimeter of the triangle?
2. How would you find the length of the slanted sides using the Pythagorean theorem?
3. What is the formula for the area of different types of triangles?
4. How can you calculate the height if only the sides are given?
5. What happens to the area if both the base and height are doubled?

Tip: When working with triangles, always check if the triangle is right-angled or not. It simplifies calculations using the Pythagorean theorem!
