Correct Answer: 4.5 cm²
Two triangles of different sizes make up the logo. We are to find the difference in the areas of these triangle. Smaller triangle has a base of 2 cm and height 6 cm. Larger triangle has the base of 3 cm and height 7 cm.
Area of the triangle = [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex] x Base x Height
So,
Area of smaller triangle = [tex] \frac{1}{2} *(2)(6)=6[/tex] cm²
Area of larger triangle = [tex] \frac{1}{2} *(3)(7)=10.5[/tex] cm²
The difference in the areas of triangles = 10.5 - 6 = 4.5 cm²
