Answer 4

Well, you first need to know the formula to find the area of a triangle. The formula is 1/2bh. The 'b' is the base of the triangle, and 'h' is the height of the triangle, the hypotenuse isn't needed. Also, it really doesn't matter where you put your height or base length, your answer will be just the same.
