Given:
a = 16 m
b = 18 m
c = 20 m
Formula for the area of triangle: A = ab / 2
We know that c is the hypotenuse of the triangle since it is the longest side.
Solution:
Substitute the given values of a and b to the formula for the area of the triangle.
A = (16m)(18m)/2
A = 288m^2 /2
A = 144 m^2
The area of the triangle is 144 m^2.
