Question

What expression represents the area of the triangle?

A triangle has a base of 24 and a height of 10. Another side has a length of 26.
One-half times 10 times 24
One-half times 10 times 26
One-half times 24 times 26
One-half times 10 times 24 times 26

Answer 1

The area \( A \) of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:

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

In this case, the base of the triangle is 24 and the height is 10. Therefore, the expression for the area of the triangle is:

\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 24 \times 10
\]

So, the correct expression that represents the area of the triangle is:

**One-half times 10 times 24**.
