Problem Solving

Question 7.
Robin wants to find the area of the triangle below. To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base times the height and then divide by 2. The base and height of the triangle are shown. Represent the area of the triangle with a numerical expression.

Area of a triangle = (4 x 3) ÷ 2 square in.
Explanation:
The area of a triangle = $$\frac{base × height}{2}$$
multiply the base times the height and then divide by 2.
The base and height of the triangle are shown in the above figure
base = 4 in; height = 3 in.
So, the area of the triangle with a numerical expression.
A = (4 x 3) ÷ 2 square in.
