Full solution

Q. The expression 12bh \frac{1}{2} b h gives the area of a triangle, where b b is the base of the triangle and h h is the height of the triangle. What is the area, in square centimeters, of a triangle with a base of 77 centimeters and a height of 44 centimeters?
  1. Identify the formula: Identify the formula for the area of a triangle.\newlineThe formula for the area of a triangle is given by (12)bh(\frac{1}{2})bh, where bb is the base and hh is the height of the triangle.
  2. Plug in values: Plug in the values for the base and height into the formula.\newlineBase bb = 77 centimeters\newlineHeight hh = 44 centimeters\newlineArea = 12\frac{1}{2} * bb * hh
  3. Perform the calculation: Perform the calculation using the given values.\newlineArea = (12)×7 cm×4 cm(\frac{1}{2}) \times 7 \text{ cm} \times 4 \text{ cm}\newlineArea = (12)×28 cm2(\frac{1}{2}) \times 28 \text{ cm}^2\newlineArea = 14 cm214 \text{ cm}^2
