If a triangle has a base of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm, what is its area?

25 cm²
50 cm²
15 cm²
30 cm²

The correct answer is: 25 cm²

To find the area of a triangle, the formula used is: Area = (base × height) / 2. In this case, the base of the triangle is 10 cm and the height is 5 cm. Plugging these values into the formula gives: Area = (10 cm × 5 cm) / 2 = 50 cm² / 2 = 25 cm². This calculation confirms that the area of the triangle is 25 cm². Therefore, the correct answer is indeed 25 cm², as it accurately follows the mathematical principles for calculating the area of a triangle.
