Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows an obtuse triangle with a base of 9 centimeters. The perpendicular height on the right is marked by a dashed line drawn from the top vertex to an extended dashed line from the base labeled as 7 centimeters. A right angle symbol is shown where the base and height meet at the dashed lines.

What is the area in square centimeters of the triangle pictured here?(1 point)

1 answer

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

In this case, the base is 9 centimeters and the height is 7 centimeters.

Area = 1/2 * 9 * 7
Area = 63/2
Area = 31.5 square centimeters

Therefore, the area of the triangle pictured is 31.5 square centimeters.
