Question

A triangle has a base length of 40 centimeters and a height of 90 centimeters. What is the area, in square centimeters, of the triangle?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 1,800 . The area, A , of a triangle can be found using the formula A = 1 2 b h , where b is the base length of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle. It&rsquo;s given that the triangle has a base length of 40 centimeters and a height of 90 centimeters. Substituting 40 for b and 90 for h in the formula A = 1 2 b h yields A = 1 2 40 90 , or A = 1,800 . Therefore, the area, in square centimeters, of the triangle is 1,800 .
