The area of a triangle can be easily calculated using the formula:
Area = (Base × Height) / 2
In this case, we have one side of the triangle which we’ll consider as the base, measuring 10 inches, and the height from that base to the opposite vertex is 7 inches.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Area = (10 inches × 7 inches) / 2
Area = 70 inches² / 2
Area = 35 inches²
So, the area of the triangle with a base of 10 inches and a height of 7 inches is 35 square inches.
