What is the area of a triangle with 5cm and 7cm?

Answer 1

To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula: Area = 0.5 * base * height. In this case, the base is 5cm and the height is 7cm. Plugging these values into the formula, we get Area = 0.5 * 5cm * 7cm = 17.5 square centimeters. Therefore, the area of the triangle is 17.5 square centimeters.

Answer 2

1/2*5*7 = 17.5 square cm

* * * * *

Only if these are the shorter legs of a right angled triangle and there is no justification for making that assumption. Two sides of a triangle are not sufficient to determine its area.
