what is the area of the triangle below?

Answer: 10
Step-by-step explanation:I like using this method:
Put a square which covers this triangle
Find the area of the rectangle which is 20
Half it which is 10
Now you have the area which is 10
Answer: The other answer is incorrect!
Step-by-step explanation:
An easier way is just imagine it being straight and not slanted. Counting the base its 3blocks and counting from the highest point all the way to the base its 4 blocks. Base=3 blocks and height=4 blocks. Substituting into the tirangle area formula which is b(h)/2 (base times height divided by 2).
You have 3x4=12.
Then 12/2=6 blocks
Therefore the area of the given triangle is 6 blocks squared (din)t forget the square).
The other answer is incorrect because this triangle is not half of this rectangle and in this question it’s just a grid (we have to use the grid)!
Trust me I know this.
Hope this helps!
