Question

The area of a triangle with base 12 cm and height 5 cm is?

• A. 30 cm\(^2\)
• B. 60 cm\(^2\)
• C. 24 cm\(^2\)
• D. 12 cm\(^2\)

Hint:

Remember the formula for the area of a triangle: \( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The formula for the area of a triangle is: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} \] Given: - Base = 12 cm - Height = 5 cm Substitute the values into the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 5 = 30 \, \text{cm}^2 \] Thus, the area of the triangle is 30 cm\(^2\). Therefore, the correct answer is option (1).
