Question

Find the area of the triangle shown in the figure given below.

• A. $6c{m}^2$
• B. $18c{m}^2$
• C. $12c{m}^2$
• D. $10c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$12c{m}^2$

Area of triangle $=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{height}=\frac{1}{2}\times QR\times PS$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 4=12c{m}^2$
