To calculate the area of the triangle in the given image, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:

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

Given:

• The base of the triangle is $16 \, \text{cm}$.
• The height of the triangle is $6 \, \text{cm}$.

Calculation:

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 16 \times 6 = \frac{1}{2} \times 96 = 48 \, \text{cm}^2$

Final Answer:

The area of the triangle is 48 cm².

5. Can the triangle's height be perpendicular to a side other than the base?

Tip: Always ensure the height used in the calculation is perpendicular to the base!
