Question:
Find the area of the triangle whose base measures 24 cm and the corresponding height measures 14.5 cm.
Solution:
Given: base $=24 \mathrm{~cm}$, correponding height $=14.5 \mathrm{~cm}$
Area of a triangle $=\frac{1}{2} \times$ base $\times$ coresponding height
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 24 \times 14.5$
$=174 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
