Question

The area of a triangle with base 12 cm and height 5 cm is?

• A. 30 cm\(^2\)
• B. 60 cm\(^2\)
• C. 24 cm\(^2\)
• D. 12 cm\(^2\)

Hint:

Remember the formula for the area of a triangle: \( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} \] With a Base of 12 cm and a Height of 5 cm, substituting these values yields: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 5 = 30 \, \text{cm}^2 \] The triangle's area is 30 cm\(^2\). This corresponds to option (1).
