Here are some practice problems for calculating the area of a triangle using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.
1. Calculate the area of a triangle with a base of 5 units and a height of 8 units.
Area = 1/2 * 5 * 8
Area = 1/2 * 40
Area = 20 square units
2. Find the area of a triangle with a base of 7 cm and a height of 12 cm.
Area = 1/2 * 7 * 12
Area = 1/2 * 84
Area = 42 square cm
3. Determine the area of a triangle with a base of 3.5 meters and a height of 6 meters.
Area = 1/2 * 3.5 * 6
Area = 1/2 * 21
Area = 10.5 square meters
4. Calculate the area of a triangle with a base of 9 ft and a height of 4 ft.
Area = 1/2 * 9 * 4
Area = 1/2 * 36
Area = 18 square feet
5. Find the area of a triangle with a base of 10 inches and a height of 15 inches.
Area = 1/2 * 10 * 15
Area = 1/2 * 150
Area = 75 square inches
Practice these problems to strengthen your understanding of calculating the area of a triangle using the base and height.
