Question

Find the area of the shaded triangle. 

Hint:

When calculating the area of a triangle, always check if you are given the base and height.

Answer 1

Step 1: Use the formula for the area of a triangle.
The area of a triangle is given by: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \] The base is given as 1, and the height is \( \sqrt{3} \).
Step 2: Calculate the area.
Substituting the values into the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times \sqrt{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]
