The base of a triangle is 5? 45 cm and the height is 3? 88 cm. what is the area of the triangle? recall: a= 1/2bh

10.57 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the area of a triangle is gotten by (1/2)*base*height

If the height of the triangle is 5.45cm and the base is 3.88cm, then the area can be calculated by multiplying the two numbers and dividing it by 2.

5.45*3.88 = 21.146cm²

This still needs to be cut in half (otherwise we are yielding the area of a rectangle with these dimensions)

21.146 cm²/2 = 10.573 cm²

This can be rounded to the nearest hundredth

= 10.57 cm²
