Question

A triangle has a base measuring 15 cm and a height of 16 cm. Calculate its area.

• A. 130
• B. 120
• C. 140
• D. 150

Answer 1

The correct option is B 120

Given that,

Base $B=15$ cm

Height $H=16$ cm

Now, the area of the triangle

$A=\frac{b\times h}{2}$

$A=\frac{15\times 16}{2}$

$A=120c{m}^2$

Hence, the area of the triangle is $120$ cm²
