Verified Answer :

A=.5(h)(b)
A=.5(8)(14
A=4(14)
A=56 cm^2

Answer:

The area of the triangle is, \(56 cm^2\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle(a) is given by:

\(a = \frac{1}{2} \cdot bh\)           ....[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;

\(a = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 8 \cdot 14 = 4 \cdot 14\)

⇒\(a = 56 cm^2\)

Therefore, the area of the triangle is, \(56 cm^2\)
