Determine the area of a triangle if the height is 36 centimeters and the base is 42 centimeters.
To determine the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:
Area = (base * height) / 2
Given that the height is 36 centimeters and the base is 42 centimeters, you can plug these values into the formula:
Area = (42 * 36) / 2
Area = 1512 / 2
Area = 756
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 756 square centimeters.
