The lid to a box is inthe shape of a triangle. The base of the triangle is 7.5 centimeters, and the height of the triangle is 4 centimeters. What is the area of the box lid.
The formula for the area of a triangle is:
A = 0.5 × base × height
Plugging in the values given in the problem, we get:
A = 0.5 × 7.5 cm × 4 cm
A = 15 cm²
Therefore, the area of the box lid is 15 square centimeters.
