Answer 1

Find the area of the triangle

The area of a triangle with base $b$and height $h$is given by$\frac{1}{2}bh$.

In a triangle $base=5cm,height=12cm$

$$\begin{gathered} Areaoftriangle=\frac{1}{2}bh \\ =\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 12 \\ =5\times 6 \\ =30 \\ \therefore Areaoftriangleis30sq.cm \end{gathered}$$
