The area of one triangle is 270 square centimeters when its height is 30 centimeters and its base length is 18 centimeters. What
is the area of a triangle having a height of 25 centimeters and a base length of 16 centimeters?

Answer:

[tex]200 cm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (1/2)bh

A = (1/2)(18)(30)

A = 270 square cm

A = (1/2)(16)(25)

A = 200 square cm

Answer:

200 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: [tex]A = \frac{1}{2}bh[/tex] where b is the base and h is the height. So if the base is 16 cm and the height if 25 cm you simply plug the values into the equation to find the area

Plug Values In:

[tex]A = \frac{1}{2}(16 cm)(25 cm)[/tex]

Multiply 16 cm and 25 cm:

[tex]A = \frac{1}{2}(400 cm^2)[/tex]

Multiply by 0.5 (or technically divide by 2)

[tex]A = 200 cm^2[/tex]
