Q. Triangle OGKOGK is shown where OG=22.3OG=22.3 centimeters cm\text{cm}, GK=32.5cmGK=32.5\text{cm}, OK=21.9cmOK=21.9\text{cm}. Height of the triangle is 15cm15\text{cm}. What is the area of OGK\triangle OGK?\newline(A) 244.185cm2244.185\text{cm}^2\newline(B) 243.75cm2243.75\text{cm}^2\newline(C) 167.25cm2167.25\text{cm}^2\newline(D) OG=22.3OG=22.300
  1. Identify Base: To find the area of a triangle, we can use the formula: Area = base×height2\frac{\text{base} \times \text{height}}{2}. In this case, we can consider one of the sides of the triangle as the base. Since the height is given, we can use either OG, GK, or OK as the base, but typically the base is the side perpendicular to the given height. However, we are not given which side the height corresponds to, so we will assume that the height is perpendicular to one of the sides given. Let's assume the base is GK, which is 32.532.5 cm.
  2. Calculate Area: Now we can calculate the area using the base GK and the given height of 1515 cm. The area AA is given by the formula A=(base×height)/2A = (\text{base} \times \text{height}) / 2.A=(32.5cm×15cm)/2A = (32.5\,\text{cm} \times 15\,\text{cm}) / 2
  3. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication before dividing by 22.\newlineA=487.5cm22A = \frac{487.5 \, \text{cm}^2}{2}
  4. Divide by 22: Now divide by 22 to find the area.\newlineA=243.75cm2A = 243.75 \, \text{cm}^2
