Answer:
6.32[tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is the base multiplied by the height, divided by 2. So take the base of 8 cm, then multiply by the height of 1.58 cm, and divide by 2.
[tex]\frac{8*1.58}{2} =6.32 cm^2[/tex]
Area = 632mm^2
Area of a triangle is
1/2 × base × height
OR
= (base × height)/2
There is a tiny trick tho' because the measurement is given in cm but they asked for the answer in mm. Well, there are 10 millimeters in a centimeter.
So the base given as 8cm is 80mm. And the height given 1.58cm is 15.8mm
Area = 1/2(80)(15.8)
= 40(15.8)
= 632 mm^2
