Given:
The triangle is a right angle triangle
Height of triangle = 3 m
Hypotenuse of triangle = 5 m
To find:
Area of triangle
Steps:
To find the area of a triangle we have multiply the base and height of triangle into 1/2, but the figure doesn't show the measurements of the base, so we have to use Pythagoras theorem to find the third side this triangle is a right angle triangle.
A² + B² = C²
3² + B² = 5²
9 + B² = 25
B² = 25 - 9
B² = 16
B = √16 = 4 m
Therefore the base length of the triangle is 4 m
Now we can find the area of the triangle
Area of triangle = (Base × Height)1/2
Area of triangle = (4 × 3)1/2
Area of triangle = 12 × 1/2
Area of triangle = 6 m²
Therefore the area of the triangle is B) 6 meters square
