Question

The area of the triangle shown in the figure given below is _____.

• A. $6c{m}^2$
• B. $12c{m}^2$
• C. $18c{m}^2$
• D. $16c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $12c{m}^2$

$\text{Area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{height}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times QR\times PS$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 4$
$=12c{m}^2$
$\therefore$ Area of the given triangle is $12c{m}^2.$
