Let’s solve each triangle one by one using the formula:
Area = ½ × base × height
We’ll multiply the base and height, then divide by 2.
---
1) Base = 8 cm, Height = 4 cm
→ 8 × 4 = 32
→ 32 ÷ 2 =
16
✔ Area =
16 cm²
---
2) Base = 10 mm, Height = 7 mm
→ 10 × 7 = 70
→ 70 ÷ 2 =
35
✔ Area =
35 mm²
---
3) Base = 12 mm, Height = 4 mm
→ 12 × 4 = 48
→ 48 ÷ 2 =
24
✔ Area =
24 mm²
---
4) Base = 16 m, Height = 3 m
→ 16 × 3 = 48
→ 48 ÷ 2 =
24
✔ Area =
24 m²
---
5) Base = 9 cm, Height = 4 cm (height is perpendicular to base)
→ 9 × 4 = 36
→ 36 ÷ 2 =
18
✔ Area =
18 cm²
---
6) Base = 5 cm, Height = 3 cm (height is perpendicular to base)
→ 5 × 3 = 15
→ 15 ÷ 2 =
7.5
✔ Area =
7.5 cm²
---
Final Answer:
1) 16
2) 35
3) 24
4) 24
5) 18
6) 7.5
