Find the area of each of the following triangles:
(d)
Solution :
Given Variables & Initial Setup
Based on the standard geometric parameters provided in the visual data for this specific problem, we extract the following dimensions for the triangle:
- Base ($b$): $3\text{ cm}$
- Height ($h$): $2\text{ cm}$
Below is the precise geometric reconstruction of the given figure. Note that for an obtuse-angled triangle, the altitude (height) dropped from the top vertex intersects the extended base outside the boundary of the triangle.
Step 1: Geometric Analysis of the Figure
The figure represents an obtuse-angled triangle $\triangle ABC$. [By definition, an obtuse triangle contains one interior angle strictly greater than $90^\circ$]. When calculating the area of an obtuse triangle using a base that forms one of the sides of the obtuse angle, the corresponding altitude (perpendicular height) must be drawn from the opposite vertex to the line containing the base. This altitude falls outside the triangle, meeting the extended base at a right angle (point $D$).
Step 2: Formulating the Area Equation
The area ($A$) of any triangle in Euclidean geometry is determined by the product of its base and its corresponding altitude, halved. [Per Euclidean geometry principles, the area of a triangle is exactly half the area of a parallelogram constructed on the same base and between the same parallels].
The governing formula is:
$A = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h$
Where:
- $b$ is the length of the base segment ($BC$).
- $h$ is the length of the perpendicular altitude ($AD$).
Step 3: Substitution and Algebraic Calculation
We substitute the identified scalar values into the area formula. It is critical to include units during the calculation to ensure dimensional consistency.
$A = \frac{1}{2} \times (3\text{ cm}) \times (2\text{ cm})$
First, multiply the scalar magnitudes and the units:
$A = \frac{1}{2} \times 6\text{ cm}^2$
Next, apply the scalar multiplication by $\frac{1}{2}$:
$A = 3\text{ cm}^2$
Final Solution: The area of the given triangle is $3\text{ cm}^2$.

I am a strong believer in concept-based gain of knowledge. I start from scratch while teaching the very basic concepts and take my students to a level where they have a deep understanding of the subject. Once they understand the concept, the next step is that practice a lot of questions/numerical/problem in the class itself as practice is the key to retain knowledge. I always refer to prescribed books by CBSE/ICSE board but always encourage students to refer additional 1 or 2 books based on their speed to practice. In last I provide them enough homework to practice at home and send me the doubts before the next class. Also for 10th students, we prepare right from beginning by covering the previous year questions and this approach till date have been fruitful as most of my students excel in the board exams
My son is taking Math and Science Tuition with Rakesh sir for last 2 weeks. I am very much satisfied with his teaching techniques. He uses visual aids which helps the student in understanding the concepts in a better way.

I am a dedicated mathematics tutor with seven years of experience teaching students from grades 8 to 10 across IB, IGCSE, ICSE, and CBSE boards. I understand that many students struggle with math due to fear, lack of conceptual clarity, or difficulty in applying formulas. My approach focuses on simplifying complex concepts through real-life examples, step-by-step problem-solving, and interactive techniques to make learning engaging. I emphasize building a strong foundation and boosting students' confidence, ensuring they not only understand math but also enjoy it as a subject. I have found that students sometimes lack skills and sometimes they are not very well focused , so I can easily point these out
