Answer:
The area of the triangle is, [tex]56 cm^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the triangle(a) is given by:
[tex]a = \frac{1}{2} \cdot bh[/tex] ....[1]
where,
b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.
As per the statement:
Given:
h = 8 cm
b = 14 cm
Substitute in [1] we have;
[tex]a = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 8 \cdot 14 = 4 \cdot 14[/tex]
⇒[tex]a = 56 cm^2[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the triangle is, [tex]56 cm^2[/tex]
