A piece of a tile is in the shape of a right triangle. The base is 112 centimeters and the height is 212 centimeters. What is the area in square centimeters?(1 point) Responses 4 square centimeters 4 square centimeters 334 square centimeters 3 Start Fraction 3 over 4 end fraction square centimeters 8 square centimeters 8 square centimeters 178 square centimeters
The area of a right triangle is calculated by the formula Area = (base * height) / 2
Given:
Base = 112 cm
Height = 212 cm
Area = (112 * 212) / 2
Area = 23744 / 2
Area = 11872 square centimeters
Therefore, the correct answer is 11872 square centimeters.
