length: 8m
width: 6m

Question 2 options:

A)

7 square meters

B)

48 square meters

C)

24 square meters

D)

96 square meters

Answer 1

To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

In your case, the length (8 m) can be considered as the base, and the width (6 m) can be considered as the height.

Using the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \, \text{m} \times 6 \, \text{m} = \frac{1}{2} \times 48 \, \text{m}^2 = 24 \, \text{m}^2
\]

So, the area of the triangle is **24 square meters**.

The correct answer is **C) 24 square meters**.
