If a triangle has a height of 12 inches and a base of 5 inches, what's its area?

Solution:

Given,

Height of the triangle = 12 inches

The base of the triangle = 5 inches

We know,

Area of the triangle = 1/2 × base × height

Substituting the values

Area = 1/2 × 5 × 12

So we get

= 5 × 6

=30 square inches.

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 30 square inches.

If a triangle has a height of 12 inches and a base of 5 inches, what's its area?

Summary:

A triangle with a height of 12 inches and a base of 5 inches, the area of the triangle is 30 square inches.
