Question

What is the area of the triangle below?
3 meters
4 meters

• 12 m
• 12 square m
• 6 square m
• 6 m

Answer 1

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

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

For this triangle, if we consider the base as 4 meters and the height as 3 meters, the area would be calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \, \text{m} \times 3 \, \text{m} = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \, \text{m}^2 = 6 \, \text{m}^2
\]

Thus, the area of the triangle is **6 square meters**.

The correct answer is **6 square m**.
