The area (A) of any triangle is half the product of its base (b) and the height (h). If the base of a triangle is 16mm and it's height is 3mm, what is the area?
Hi, All you do is multiple the fraction 1/2 by 16 and then by 3. You should get 24mm
24 square mm
oops! I stand corrected! 24 mm squared is correct!
To find the area of a triangle, we need to use the formula: A = (1/2) * b * h, where A represents the area, b represents the base, and h represents the height of the triangle.
In this case, the base (b) is given as 16mm and the height (h) is given as 3mm.
Substituting these values into the formula, we have:
A = (1/2) * 16mm * 3mm
To calculate this, we can simplify as follows:
A = (1/2) * 48mm^2
Next, we multiply 48mm^2 by 1/2:
A = 24mm^2
So, the area of the triangle is 24 square millimeters.
