What is the area of a triangle if the base is 9 meters and the height is 10 meters?

  1. 81 m

  2. 90 m

  3. 135 m

  4. 180 m

The correct answer is: 81 m

The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying the base by the height and then halving the result. In this case, multiplying 9m by 10m gives us 90m², which we then halve to get 45m². Therefore, none of the other options are correct. Option B is simply the sum of the base and height, which is incorrect. Option C is an incorrect calculation, as it appears to be multiplying the base and height rather than halving it. Option D is also incorrect as it is simply doubling the result of 45m².
