You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the area of a triangle with a apothem of 5 and the base of the triangle is 4
The formula to find the area is: a x p divided by 2
a = apothem
p= perimeter
----------------
apothem applies only to regular polygons, so it's an equilateral triangle.
All sides = 4, so the perimeter is 12
Area = a*p/2
Area = 5*12/2
Area = 30 sq units
