Math Problem Statement

Find the area of a triangle with a base of 10 units and a height of 5 units.

Solution

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

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

Substituting the given values (base = 10 units and height = 5 units):

Area=12×10×5=25square units\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 5 = 25 \, \text{square units}

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

Here are 5 related questions to deepen understanding:

  1. What is the formula for the area of a triangle if only the side lengths are known?
  2. How would the area change if the base were doubled?
  3. Can you find the area of a triangle with an unequal base and height?
  4. How does the area formula apply to right-angled triangles?
  5. How would you calculate the area of a triangle on a coordinate plane?

Tip: Always double-check the units when solving area problems to ensure they are consistent.
