Can you find the area of the blue triangle in just 3 minutes?

In summary, the formula for finding the area of a triangle is (base x height) / 2. The base and height of a triangle can be determined by measuring the length of the two sides that form the right angle. It is possible to find the area of a triangle in just 3 minutes if you have the base and height measurements readily available and are familiar with the formula. You can use any unit of measurement as long as you use the same unit for both the base and height. Finding the area of a triangle is important in many fields, including math, engineering, and science, as it allows us to determine the amount of space inside a triangle and can be useful in various calculations.
