The correct Answer is:
To find the area of triangle ABC, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the sides of the triangle Given that triangle ABC forms a Pythagorean triplet (3-4-5) and that AC = 4, we can identify the sides of the triangle: - AC = 4 (one of the perpendicular sides) - BC = 3 (the other perpendicular side) - AB = 5 (the hypotenuse) ### Step 2: Understand the triangle configuration Since AC and BC are the two perpendicular sides, we can visualize triangle ABC as a right-angled triangle with: - AC as the height - BC as the base ### Step 3: Use the area formula for a triangle The area \( A \) of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \] In our case: - Base = BC = 3 - Height = AC = 4 ### Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula Now substituting the values into the area formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 4 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the area Calculating the above expression: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 = 6 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the area of triangle ABC is \( 6 \) square units. ---
