What is the formula for calculating the area of a triangle?

Length x Width
(Length x Width)/2
Length + Width
(Length + Width) x 2

The correct answer is: (Length x Width)/2

The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is (base x height)/2. Option A, Length x Width, is incorrect because it is the formula for calculating the area of a rectangle. Option C, Length + Width, is incorrect because it does not take into account the height, which is necessary for calculating the area of a triangle. Option D, (Length + Width) x 2, is incorrect because it uses the incorrect formula for calculating the perimeter of a triangle. The correct formula is (base + height) x 2.
