alleryThe area of a triangle with base b and height h is:
Ab + h
B½ b h
Cb h
D2 b h
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. ½ b h
A triangle is exactly HALF the area of a rectangle (or parallelogram) with the same base and height — you can verify by drawing a diagonal of a rectangle and seeing it splits into two equal triangles.
**So Area_triangle = ½ × base × height. Units: square units.**
