Example Question #5 : Triangles
A triangle has a base that is 8 cm. and a height that is 12 cm. What is the area of this triangle?
To find the area of the triangle, we need to plug in what we know (the base and the height) into the formula to find the area of the triangle:
We can know solve for
Example Question #6 : Triangles
Find the height of the triangle.
If the base of a triangle is and the area is , what is the height of the triangle?
Area of a triangle is
Set up the equation, then solve:
so
Example Question #1235 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
A triangle has a base of 7 and a height of 4. What is the area of the triangle?
None of these
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the base times the height, divided by 2.
Plugging in the appropriate values for this equation gives us:
This reduces to:
This is equal to 14, the correct answer.
Example Question #2 : Triangles
A triangle has a base of 8 inches and a height of 4 inches. What is the area in square inches?
The area of a triangle can be calculated using this formula:
When inputting the base and height information, the equation looks like this:
Example Question #7 : How To Find The Area Of A Triangle
The area of a triangle is 12 square inches. It has a height of 4 inches. What is the triangle's base, in inches?
The area of a triangle is:
Given that the area is 12 and the base is 4, this gives us:
This reduces to:
Example Question #3 : Triangles
If a triangle has a base of 1 foot, and a height of half a foot, what is the area in square inches?
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the base times the height, divided by 2.
Since we are looking for the area in inches, we must convert the base and height to inches, from feet.
This gives us a base of 6 inches and a height of 12 inches. Plug these values into the area equation and solve.
Example Question #11 : How To Find The Area Of A Triangle
What is the area of a triangle for which the base is 9 inches and the height is 12 inches?
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the base times the height, divided by 2.
Given that the base is 9 inches and the height is 12 inches, plugging these numbers into the equation gives us the following:
Example Question #281 : Plane Geometry
If a triangle has a height of 2 inches and a base that is 3 times as long, what is the area?
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the base times the height, divided by 2.
Given that the height is 2 inches, and the base is 3 times that of the height, the base is 6 inches.
Example Question #13 : How To Find The Area Of A Triangle
If the area of a triangle is 15 feet and the height is 5 feet, what is the length of the base?
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the base times the height, divided by 2.
Each side of the equation should be multiplied by 2.
Each side should be divided by 5.
Therefore, the base has a value of 6.
Example Question #11 : How To Find The Area Of A Triangle
A triangle has a height of 6 inches and a base of 3 inches. What is the area, in square inches?
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the base times the height, divided by 2.
Here, the base is 3 inches and the height is 6 inches. When plugging this information into the formula, we get:
This fraction reduces to 9, the correct answer.
