Multiple Choice

Which is the Correct formula for area of a triangle ?

• $$\frac{1}{2}B\ \times H$$

• $$B\ \times H$$

• $$\frac{1}{3}B\ \times H$$

• base / height $$\frac{1}{2}B\div H$$

Multiple Choice

which number represents the base in this triangle

• 24

• 8

​Since the full base of the triangle here is 24, That means half of the full base would be 12.
