Find the area of a triangle whose base is 4 cm and altitude is 6 cm.a)10 cm2b)14 cm2c)16 cm2d)12 cm2Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Accepted Answer

We know that area of triangle is equals to 1/2 base × altitude.
Here, base = 4 cm and altitude = 6 cm.
So, area = 1/2 × 4 × 6= 24 /2= 12 cm².

Answer

We know that area of triangle is equals to 1/2 base × altitude.Here, base = 4 cm and altitude = 6 cm.So, area = 1/2 × 4 × 6= 24 /2= 12 cm^2.

Answer

Area of triangle
= 1/2 x Base x Height
= 1/2 x 4 x 6
= 2 x 6
= 12 cm²

Option (d)

Answer

The area of triangle is= ½× base × heightSo, given in the question Base=4cmAltitude  =6cmSince, Altitude is height hereWe will solve it like this,=½ × 4× 6=2× 6=12 cm²Therefore, the option D is correct. The area of triangle is 12 cm².

Answer

See, formula for area of the right-angled triangle = ( base * height)/2 .Base is 4 cm.Height is 6 cm.Hence, (4*6)/2 =12

Answer

Area of a Triangle:
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
Area = (1/2) * base * altitude

Given Data:
Base = 4 cm
Altitude = 6 cm

To find the area of the triangle, we can substitute the given values into the formula.

Calculating the Area:
Area = (1/2) * base * altitude
= (1/2) * 4 cm * 6 cm
= 2 cm * 6 cm
= 12 cm²

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 12 cm², which corresponds to option 'D'.
