Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 24 cm².

Given that, height of triangle = 12 cm

Base = 13×12{1\over 3} \times 12

⇒ 4 cm

Area of triangle = ½ × base × height

According to the givenm question,

Area of triangle = ½ × 4 × 12

⇒ 24

Hence the area of the triangle is 24 cm2.
