The problem tells you that you find the area of triangles by finding ½ × base × height.

The problem also tells you that for this triangle, the base is 8.5 cm and the height is 5.4 cm.

So to find the area you multiply ½ × 8.5 × 5.4
That product is 22.95 square centimeters

Answer: The area of the triangle is 22.95 cm²

lenght of base = 8.5
height = 5.4
Area = 1/2(base times height)
Area = 1/2(8.5 x 5.4)
