Question

Find the area of triangle whose base is 4 cm long and the height corresponding to the base measures 12 cm.

• A. $24c{m}^2$
• B. $12c{m}^2$
• C. $18c{m}^2$
• D. $48c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $24c{m}^2$

Area of triangle is given by:
$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$
where:
$b:\text{Base}$
$h:\text{Height}$

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times 4cm\times 12cm$
$A=24c{m}^2$
