To find the area of a triangle, we use the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \][/tex]
Given:
- Base of the triangle = 25.50 cm
- Height of the triangle = 18.40 cm
Step-by-step solution:
1. Multiply the base by the height:
[tex]\[ 25.50 \, \text{cm} \times 18.40 \, \text{cm} = 469.2 \, \text{cm}^2 \][/tex]
2. Divide the product by 2:
[tex]\[ \frac{469.2 \, \text{cm}^2}{2} = 234.6 \, \text{cm}^2 \][/tex]
Therefore, the area of the triangle is:
[tex]\[ 234.6 \, \text{cm}^2 \][/tex]
