Answer
40


The formula to determine the area of the right triangle is a*b/2

First, let’s input the numbers into the formula.

16*5/2

Now we need to solve.

16*5= 80
80/2= 40

Therefore, the answer would be 40.
Hi there!

• Base, b = 16
• Altitude, a = 5

Area of triangle = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] × b × a = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] × 16 × 5 = 40 sq. units.

Hence,
Option D. 40 sq. units is Correct
