Example Question #3 : Area Of A Triangle

What is the area of a triangle with a base of $\frac{1}{2}$ and a height of $\frac{2}{3}$ ?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{6}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{12}$

$\frac{1}{9}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{6}$

Explanation:

Write the formula for the area of a triangle.

$A = \frac{1}{2}bh$

Substitute the base and height.

$A = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2})(\frac{2}{3})$

Simplify the fractions.

The answer is: $\frac{1}{6}$

Example Question #5 : Area Of A Triangle

Find the area of a triangle with a base of 6cm and a height that is three times the base.

Possible Answers:

$36\text{cm}^2$

$108\text{cm}^2$

$54\text{cm}^2$

$48\text{cm}^2$

$18\text{cm}^2$

Correct answer:

$54\text{cm}^2$

Explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, we will use the following formula:

$A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot h$

where b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.

Now, we know the base of the triangle is 6cm. We also know the height is three times the base. Therefore, the height is 18cm. So, we substitute. We get

$A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 6\text{cm} \cdot 18\text{cm}$

$A = 3\text{cm} \cdot 18\text{cm}$

$A = 54\text{cm}^2$

Example Question #6 : Area Of A Triangle

Find the area of a triangle with a base of 10in and a height of 9in.

Possible Answers:

$40\text{in}^2$

$35\text{in}^2$

$45\text{in}^2$

$90\text{in}^2$

$28\text{in}^2$

Correct answer:

$45\text{in}^2$

Explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, we will use the following formula:

$A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot h$

where b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.

Now, we know the base of the triangle is 10in. We know the height of the triangle is 9in. So, we can substitute. We get

$A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10\text{in} \cdot 9\text{in}$

$A = 5\text{in} \cdot 9\text{in}$

$A = 45\text{in}^2$

Example Question #7 : Area Of A Triangle

Find the area of a triangle with a base of 8cm and a height of 12cm.

Possible Answers:

$96\text{cm}^2$

$32\text{cm}^2$

$24\text{cm}^2$

$20\text{cm}^2$

$48\text{cm}^2$

Correct answer:

$48\text{cm}^2$

Explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, we will use the following formula:

$A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot h$

where b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.

We know the base of the triangle is 8cm.

We know the height of the triangle is 12cm.

Now, we can substitute. We get

$A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 8\text{cm} \cdot 12\text{cm}$

$A = 4\text{cm} \cdot 12\text{cm}$

$A = 48\text{cm}^2$

Example Question #1172 : Ged Math

Find the area of a triangle with a base of 16x^2 and a height of .

Possible Answers:

64x^3

16x^2+4x

64x^5

32x^3

8x^2+2x

Correct answer:

32x^3

Explanation:

Write the area for a triangle.

$A= \frac{BH}{2}$

Substitute the base and height.

$A= \frac{(16x^2)(4x)}{2} = \frac{64x^3}{2} = 32x^3$

The answer is: 32x^3

Example Question #32 : Triangles

Find the area of a triangle with a base of 14in and a height of 9in.

Possible Answers:

$88\text{in}^2$

$72\text{in}^2$

$54\text{in}^2$

$126\text{in}^2$

$63\text{in}^2$

Correct answer:

$63\text{in}^2$

Explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, we will use the following formula:

$A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot h$

where b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.

Now, we know the base of the triangle is 14in and the height is 9in. So, we can substitute. We get

$A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 14\text{in} \cdot 9\text{in}$

$A = 7\text{in} \cdot 9\text{in}$

$A = 63\text{in}^2$

Possible Answers:

108

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Write the formula for a triangle.

$A = \frac{BH}{2}$

Substitute the dimensions and find the area.

$A = \frac{(12)(3)}{2} = 6(3) = 18$

The answer is:

Example Question #33 : Triangles

Find the area of a triangle with a base length of 6 and a height of $\frac{1}{4}$ .

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{3}{2}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Explanation:

Write the area for a triangle.

$A = \frac{BH}{2}$

Substitute the base and height into the equation.

$A = \frac{6(\frac{1}{4})}{2} = 3(\frac{1}{4}) = \frac{3}{4}$

The answer is: $\frac{3}{4}$

120

Correct answer:

120

Explanation:

Write the formula for the area of a triangle.

$A=\frac{BH}{2}$

Substitute the base and height into the equation.

$A=\frac{(12)(20)}{2} = 6(20) =120$

The answer is: 120
