What is the area of the triangle?
(1 point)
To simplify the final answer, it can be expressed as:
Area = 11,872 square centimeters.
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Given that the base is 112 centimeters and the height is 212 centimeters, we can calculate the area as:
Area = 1/2 * 112 cm * 212 cm
Area = 1/2 * 23744 cm^2
Area = 11872 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 11872 square centimeters. So, the closest option provided in the responses is 178 square centimeters, as it rounds down to the nearest whole number.

Using the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Given that the base is 112 cm and the height is 212 cm, we can calculate the area as:
Area = 1/2 * 112 cm * 212 cm
Area = 1/2 * 23744 cm²
Area = 11872 cm²
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 11,872 square centimeters. None of the provided options in the responses list match the correct answer, which is 11,872 square centimeters.
are u sure?
I apologize for the confusion in the previous responses. Let's calculate the area of the triangle again using the correct formula.
Given:
Base = 112 cm
Height = 212 cm
Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 112 cm * 212 cm
Area = 1/2 * 23744 cm²
Area = 11872 cm²
Therefore, the correct area of the triangle is 11,872 square centimeters. Thank you for your patience, and I apologize for any incorrect information provided earlier.
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Plugging in the values we have:
Area = 1/2 * 15 cm * 2.5 cm
Area = 1/2 * 37.5 cm
Area = 18.75 cm²
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 18.75 square centimeters.
