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
*(Note: The height is drawn outside the triangle but still perpendicular to the base — that’s okay!)*
→ 9 × 4 = 36
→ 36 ÷ 2 =
18
Area =
18 cm²
---
6) Base = 5 cm, Height = 3 cm
*(Again, height is shown outside — as long as it’s perpendicular to the base, we use it.)*
→ 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
