Question: 1 / 400

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 cm and height of 5 cm?

15 cm²

25 cm²

To find the area of a triangle, the formula used is:

\[

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}

\]

In this case, the triangle has a base of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm. Plugging in these values, the calculation becomes:

\[

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 5

\]

Calculating this step-by-step:

1. Multiply the base and height: \(10 \times 5 = 50\).

2. Then, take half of that product: \(\frac{50}{2} = 25\).

Thus, the area of the triangle is 25 cm². This corresponds to the correct answer, which indicates the correct application of the area formula for triangles.
