To find the area of any triangle, the formula below is utilised:
1/2 × base × height
(that’s half times base, times height)
- The “base” refers to the bottom part of the triangle.
- The “height” refers to the tall part of the triangle.
*Note: The diagonal part of the triangle is not used in this formula.
To solve your equation:
1/2 × 7 × 4
=7 × 4 = 28
Therefore,
1/2 of 28 or 28 ÷ 2 = 14
AREA= 14units²
