Finding The Area Of A Right Angle Triangle

In math we have been learning how to find the area of a right angle triangle. All you have to do is divide the base number by 2 then multiply that number by the number for the height  of the triangle.(The height means the left side of the triangle.The base means the bottom of the triangle). Here is an example:

Find the AREA:
(Forget about the 25cm because you don't need it to find the area)
Image result for right angled triangle with an area of 12


2cm divided by 2cm = 1cm so 1cm multiplied by 20cm = 20cm
The answer is 20cm2
