A right triangle has a height of 13 centimeters and a base of 16.4 centimeters.What is the area of the triangle?
To find the area of a right triangle, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
In this case, the base is 16.4 centimeters and the height is 13 centimeters. Plugging these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) * 16.4 cm * 13 cm
To calculate this, you can multiply the base (16.4 cm) and the height (13 cm) together, and then divide the result by 2.
Area = (16.4 cm * 13 cm) / 2
Area = 213.2 cm² / 2
Area = 106.6 cm²
So, the area of the right triangle is 106.6 square centimeters.
