Find the area of a triangle if one of its sides is 6.9 cm and the height drawn to it is 0.51 m

We need to find the area of the triangle. We know that the area of a triangle is calculated as the product of half the length of the base by the height drawn to the given base. That is, this statement can be written as follows:

S = 1/2 * a * h

From the problem statement, we know that the base of the triangle is a = 6.9 cm, and the height drawn to the given base is h = 0.51 m, respectively.

Let’s bring all values to common units:

h = 0.51 m = 0.51 * 100 = 51 cm

Then:

S = 1/2 * a * h = 1/2 * 6.9 * 51 = 351.9 / 2 = 175.95 cm. Sq.
