A triangle is half of a rectangle or parallelogram with the same base and height, so we multiply by 1\/2. Use the perpendicular height, not a slanted side, because the height must make a right angle with the base. The answer is in square units because area measures the surface covered by the triangle.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"24 cm\u00b2"},{"right":"yes","answer":"70 cm\u00b2"},{"right":"no","answer":"84 cm\u00b2"},{"right":"no","answer":"12 cm\u00b2"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":2746,"title":"Mensuration","slug":"mensuration"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":2843,"title":"Area of Triangle","slug":"area-of-triangle"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/20080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=20080"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=20080"},{"taxonomy":"education_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/education_level?post=20080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
