Question

Find the area of triangle whose base is $5\mathrm{cm}$ and height is $6\mathrm{cm}$. Find the area of triangle.

Answer 1

Write the formula for area of triangle and substitute the given values

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

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 6 \\ =\frac{1}{1}\times 5\times 3[\mathrm{Cancel}6\mathrm{by}2] \\ =15{\mathrm{cm}}^2 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $15{\mathrm{cm}}^2$is the area of triangle.
