Example Question #3 : How To Find The Area Of A Triangle In Pre Algebra

If a triangle has an area of and a base of , what is the height?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height: $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

Plug in our given information and solve:

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

$44=\frac{1}{2}*11*h$

Multiply both sides by to get rid of the $\frac{1}{2}$ :

88=11*h

Divide both sides by :

$\frac{88}{11}=h$

8=h

Example Question #5 : How To Find The Area Of A Triangle In Pre Algebra

What is the base of a triangle if the height is and the area is ?

Possible Answers:

2.5

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}*b*h$ .

Plug in our given values.

$50=\frac{1}{2}*b*20$

Combine like terms.

$50=(\frac{1}{2}*20)*b$

50=10*b

Divide both sides by to isolate .

$\frac{50}{10}=b$

5=b

What is the area of a triangle with a base of and a height of ?

Possible Answers:

180

360

270

188

Correct answer:

180

Explanation:

The equation for the area of a triangle is

$A=(\frac{1}{2})(base)(height)$

We plug the base of and the height of into the equation to get

$A=(\frac{1}{2})(4)(90)$

We then multiply to get the answer of A=180 .

Possible Answers:

$24\ in^{2}$

$21\ in^{2}$

$42\ in^{2}$

$48\ in^{2}$

$52\ in^{2}$

Correct answer:

$21\ in^{2}$
