Question

If X = 12 units and h = 5 units, then what is the area of the triangle shown above?
25 square units
15 square units
36 square units
30 square units

Answer 1

30 sq units.

x=12 is the base multiplied by h=5 is the height gives 60 sq units for a rectangle made of 2 triangles so you divide 60 by 2 and get 30 sq units, the area of the triangle. The formula is b.h/2

Answer 2

I am assuming that x here is the base as I cannot see any diagram.

 

formula for area of a triangle 1/2 base*height

 

base=12

h=5

 

1/2(12*5)

1/2*60

Area =30 square units
