Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

[tex]\boxed{\frac{b*h}{2}}[/tex]

You should be correct.

Here’s why:  

  • The given formula for a triangle is similar to the formula for area of a square or rectangle. A triangle is basically a 'half-rectangle'.

[tex]\boxed{\text{Area of a triangle:}}\\\\A = \frac{b*h}{2}\\\\\boxed{\text{Key:}}\\\\\rightarrow \text{B - Base}\\\\\rightarrow \text{H - Height}[/tex]

⸻⸻⸻⸻

  • The area of a triangle is the half the product of the base and height of the triangle.
