What is the area of the obtuse triangle given below

Answer:
Option D 9 sq units
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a triangle is equal to
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)[/tex]
where
b is the base
h is the height
In this problem we have
[tex]b=9\ units\\h=2\ units[/tex]
substitute in the formula
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(9)(2)[/tex]
[tex]A=9\ units^2[/tex]
Answer: D. 9 sq. units.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that , the area of a triangle = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\times \text{Base x height}}[/tex]
In the given picture , it can be seen that the height of the triangle = 2 units
and base length of triangle = 9 units
Then, the area of a triangle = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\times9\times2[/tex]
i.e. Area of a triangle = 9 square units.
Hence, the correct answer is option D. 9 sq. units.
