Answer:
27 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula of Area Triangle = 1/2(base x height)
Base = 6 cm
Height = 9 cm
1/2 ( 6 x 9 ) = 1/2 ( 54 ) = 27
Units = cm * cm = cm²
27 cm²
Why the formula (1/2 ( base x height )) works:
Take a triangle
Duplicate the triangle
And rotate the triangle and put it next to the other one
What shape does it form?
Either a parallelogram or a rectangle
The formula for a parallelogram or rectangle is (base x height)
Since you are initially doubling the area of the triangle to get the rectangle, solve for the rectangle and divide by 2.
So, do base x height
And divide by 2
