Answer:
12 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a given figure is the measure of space occupied by the figure on a 2 dimensional plane.
Area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x base x height
From the given grid, the following can be observed for triangle STU.
base SU = 6 units
height = 4 units
Thus,
area of triangle STU = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x base x height
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 6 x 4
= 3 x 4
area of triangle STU = 12 square units
The required area of triangle STU is 12 square units.
