What is the area of the triangle below? a.60 sq units b.46 sq units c.23 sq units d.120 sq units

Answer
60

The formula to find the area of the right triangle is a*b/2.

First let’s input these numbers into the formula.

15*8/2

Now let’s solve

15*8= 120
120/2=60

Therefore, the answer would be 60.

Hi there!

• Base, b = 8
• Altitude, a = 15

Area of triangle = × b × a = × 8 × 15 = 60 sq. units.

Hence,
Option A. 60 sq. units is Correct.
