Exercise 74 Page 15

Use the formula for finding the area of a triangle.

18 units^2

Practice makes perfect
We will use the formula for calculating the area of a triangle. A=1/2bh Now, we substitute the value of the base, b= 4, and the value of the height, h= 9, into the formula to calculate A.
A=bh/2
A=4( 9)/2
A=2(9)/1
A=2(9)
A=18
The area of the triangle is 18 squared units.
