Answer:
A = 22.5 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is
A = 1/2 bh where b is the base and h is the height
A = 1/2(5)(9)
A = 45/2
A = 22.5 cm^2
[tex]\begin{gathered} {\underline{\boxed{ \rm {\red{Area \: \: of \: \: triangle \: = \: \frac{1}{2} \: \times \: base \: \times \: height}}}}}\end{gathered}[/tex]
[tex]\bf \longrightarrow \:Area \: \: of \: \: triangle \: = \: \frac{1}{2} \: \times \: 5 \: cm \: \times \: 9 \: cm[/tex]
[tex]\bf \longrightarrow \:Area \: \: of \: \: triangle \: = \: \frac{1}{2} \: \times \: 45 \: cm[/tex]
[tex]\bf \longrightarrow \:Area \: \: of \: \: triangle \: = \: \frac{45 \: {cm}^{2} }{2} \: \\ [/tex]
[tex]\bf \longrightarrow \:Area \: \: of \: \: triangle \: = \: \cancel\frac{45}{2} \: \: ^{22.5 \: {cm}^{2} } \: \\ [/tex]
[tex]\bf \longrightarrow \:Area \: \: of \: \: triangle \: = \: 22.5 \: {cm}^{2} [/tex]
Hence , the area of triangle is 22.5 cm²
