a piece of tile is in the shape of a right triangle the base is 1 1/2 cm. And the height is 2 1/2 CM what is the area

Answer 1

The formula for the area of a triangle is:

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Plugging in the values given:

Area = 1/2 * 1 1/2 * 2 1/2
Area = 1/2 * 3/2 * 5/2
Area = 3/4 * 5/2
Area = 15/8

Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 15/8 square centimeters.
