The side of the triangle is 5 cm, and the height drawn to it is twice the side. Find the area of the triangle.

Let’s calculate what the height of the triangle is. Since it is 2 times larger than the side, we multiply the side by 2:
1) 5 * 2 = 10 cm – the height of the triangle.
The area of a triangle is equal to the product of half the height of the triangle by the side to which the height is drawn (S = 1/2 a * h). All data is known, we find the area:
2) S = 1/2 * 5 * 10 = 5 * 5 = 25 cm2 – the area of the triangle.
Answer: The area of the triangle is 25 cm2.
