Find the area of the following triangles: b=4 and h=3.
Solve for area of the given triangle
Given,
Height of the triangle h=3
Base of the triangle b=4
We know that, area of triangle =12× base ×height
∴ Area of the given triangle =12×4×3=6cm2
Hence, the area of the given triangle is 6cm2
If ‘a’ is the side of an equilateral triangle and ‘h’ is the height, which of the following expressions can be used to find the area of the triangle?
1. 12 × a × h 2. a × h 3. √34a2 4. √32a2
