What is the area in square centimeters of the triangle pictured here?(1 point)
triangle one side is 9 cm another is 7
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
Area = (1/2) x base x height
In this case, we can consider the side lengths provided as the base and height of the triangle. Given that one side is 9 cm and another side is 7 cm, we can choose either one as the base and the other as the height.
Let's consider the side of length 9 cm as the base and the side of length 7 cm as the height:
Area = (1/2) x 9 cm x 7 cm
Area = (1/2) x 63 cm²
Area = 31.5 cm²
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 31.5 square centimeters.
