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, the base of the triangle is 5 cm and the height is 10 cm. Plugging these values into the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 , \text{cm} \times 10 , \text{cm} \] \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 50 , \text{cm}^2 \] \[ \text{Area} = 25 , \text{cm}^2 \]
So, the area of the triangle is \( 25 , \text{cm}^2 \).
