Calculate the area of a right-angled triangle with a base of 22 cm and height corresponding to that base is 15 cm.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 165 cm2.

Given that, base of triangle = 22 cm

Height of triangle = 15 cm

Area of right-angled triangle = ½ × base of triangle × height corresponding to the base

According to the given question,

Area of triangle = ½ × 22 × 15

⇒ 11 × 15 = 165 cm2

Hence the area of the right-angled triangle is 165 cm2.
