a triangle has a base of 18in. , sides of 14in. and 16in. with a height of 4in. What is the area?
A = 1/2 bh
A = 1/2 * 18 * 4
A = ?
A triangle with sides 18, 14 , and 16 cannot have a height of 4
check your typing or check the question.
14in, 16in and 18in.
To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:
Area = (Base x Height) / 2
In this case, the base of the triangle is 18 inches and the height is 4 inches.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Area = (18 x 4) / 2
Area = 72 / 2
Area = 36 square inches
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 36 square inches.
