Math Problem Statement

Find the area of the triangle.

Find the area of the triangle.

Solution

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

Area=12×base×height\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}

From the image:

  • The base of the triangle is 6cm6 \, \text{cm}
  • The height of the triangle is 8cm8 \, \text{cm}

Substitute the values into the formula:

Area=12×6×8=24cm2\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 8 = 24 \, \text{cm}^2

Thus, the area of the triangle is 24 cm².
