what is the area of a right triangle 6 centimeters high with a base of 2 centimeters? a 7 square cm b 6 square cm c 8 square cm d 12 square cm
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall the area formula for a triangle
The formula for the area of a triangle is (A=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height).
Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula
Here, the base (b = 2) cm and the height (h=6) cm. So, (A=\frac{1}{2}\times2\times6). First, calculate (\frac{1}{2}\times2 = 1), then (1\times6=6).
Answer:
B. 6 square cm
