Question

Writ and solve an equation to find the area of the triangle. What is its area? The width is 13cm the height is 14 cm.
___ cm^2

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 this case, the base (width) of the triangle is 13 cm, and the height is 14 cm. Plugging these values into the formula gives:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 13 \, \text{cm} \times 14 \, \text{cm}
\]

Calculating this step by step:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 13 \times 14
\]

First, multiply 13 and 14:

\[
13 \times 14 = 182
\]

Now, divide by 2:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{182}{2} = 91 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Thus, the area of the triangle is:

\[
\boxed{91 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]
