In triangle ABC, side AB is 12 cm and height SK is 18 cm. Find the area of the triangle.

1. Let’s make a drawing.

2. Find the area of the triangle.

The area of a triangle is equal to half the product of either side of the triangle and the height dropped to that side.

S = (12 * 18): 2 = 216: 2 = 108 (cm2).

Answer: S = 108 cm2.
