Find the area of the figure.

Shapes: Triangle
10 in and 10 in
Area = [ ? ] in²

1 answer

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, you have a triangle with a base of 10 inches and a height of 10 inches.

Substituting these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 , \text{in} \times 10 , \text{in} \]

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 , \text{in}^2 \]

\[ \text{Area} = 50 , \text{in}^2 \]

So, the area of the triangle is 50 in².
