Questions: Find the area of the triangle below. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Solution Steps

The base of the triangle is given as 19 cm, and the height is given as 6 cm.

The formula for the area of a triangle is: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \]

Substitute the base and height into the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 19 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm} \]

Perform the multiplication and division: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 114 \, \text{cm}^2 \] \[ \text{Area} = 57 \, \text{cm}^2 \]
