Example Question #2 : How To Find The Area Of A Triangle

An isosceles triangle has a base of 12 cm and a height of 6 cm. What is the area of the triangle?

Possible Answers:

$36\: cm^{2}$

$72\: cm^{2}$

$12\: cm^{2}$

$18\, cm^{2}$

Correct answer:

$36\: cm^{2}$

Explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, you must multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ by the base (12 cm) by the height (6 cm):

$\frac{12\: cm}{2}\times6 \: cm=36\: cm^{2}$

Therefore the area of this triangle is $36\: cm^{2}$ .

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Area Of A Triangle

If a triangle has a base of 3 inches and a height of 8 inches, what is the area of the triangle?

Possible Answers:

$11\;in^2$

$24\;in^2$

$32\;in^2$

$16\;in^2$

$12\;in^{2}$

Correct answer:

$12\;in^{2}$

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is $\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height= area$ .

Plug in the values given to solve the equation:

$\frac{1}{2}(3\;in)(8\;in)=$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 3\;in \times 8\;in = \frac{1}{2}\;\times24\;in^{2}=12\;in^2$

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Area Of A Triangle

A triangle has a base of 10 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters. What is the area of the triangle?

Possible Answers:

$70\ cm^{2}$

$120\ cm^{2}$

$60\ cm^{2}$

$72\ cm^{2}$

$22\ cm^{2}$

Correct answer:

$60\ cm^{2}$

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is $area=\frac{1}{2}(base)(height)$ .

Plug in the given values to solve for the area:

$\frac{1}{2}\times10cm\times12cm$

= $5cm\times12cm$

= 60cm^2

The area of this triangle is $60cm^{2}$ .

Example Question #591 : Geometry

What is the area of a right triangle with a base of length 4 and a height that is 3 times longer than the base?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by the formula $A = \frac{1}{2}\times b \times h$ , where is the length of the base and is the height.

First let's figure out the height. The base is 4, and the height is 3 times greater than the base:

$3 \times 4 = 12$

Now plug the base and height into the area formula:

$A = 0.5 \times 4 \times 12 = 2 \times 12 = 24$

The area of the triangle is 24.

Example Question #601 : Plane Geometry

A triangle has base of length units and a height of length units. What is the area of this triangle?

Possible Answers:

units squared

Correct answer:

units squared

Explanation:

To calculate the area of a triangle, you use the formula $\frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot h$ , where is the length of the base of the triangle and is the height of the triangle. For this triangle, we need to solve the equation $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 6 \cdot 8$ to find its area. $6\cdot 8=48$ and $48\div2=24$ , so the triangle's area is units squared.

Example Question #11 : Triangles

The base of a triangle is , and the height is . What is the area of the triangle?

Possible Answers:

180

240

120

Correct answer:

120

Explanation:

Write the formula for area of a triangle. Substitute the dimensions.

$A=\frac{bh}{2} = \frac{(12)(20)}{2} = 12(10)=120$
