What is the area of triangle DEF? Triangle D E F has a base of 42 centimeters and a height of 28 centimeters. The other sides have lengths of 35 centimeters.

The area of triangle DEF is 588 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

triangle DEF with base, b = 42 centimeters

triangle DEF with height, h = 28 centimeters

triangle DEF other side length, L = 35 centimeters

Area of a triangle is half of the product of the triangle base and height.

Represented in formula as;

A = ¹/₂bh

where;

b is the base of the triangle

h is the height of the triangle

A = ¹/₂ x 42 x 28

A = 588 cm²

Therefore the area of triangle DEF is 588 cm²
