Answer:
[tex]216[/tex] [tex]cm^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2} *bh[/tex]
The base is 27 and the height 16. Insert values:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2} *27*16[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]A=\frac{1*27*16}{2}\\\\A=\frac{27*16}{2}\\\\A=\frac{432}{2}\\\\A= 216[/tex]
The area of the triangle is [tex]216[/tex] [tex]cm^2[/tex].
