A triangle has a height of 8 units and a base of 5 units. What is the area of the triangle?

*
1 point
20 square units
40 square units
13 square units
26 square units

The area of a triangle is given by the formula: (1/2) * base * height

In this case, the base is 5 units and the height is 8 units.

Area = (1/2) * 5 * 8
Area = 20 square units

Therefore, the correct answer is:
20 square units
