Answer:

 [tex]A = 18.85 cm^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is:

• [tex]A = \frac{1}{2} b h[/tex]

where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle.

In this case, the base of the triangle is 6.5 cm and the height of the triangle is 5.8 cm. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

• [tex]A = \frac{1}{2} (6.5 cm)( 5.8 cm)[/tex]
• [tex]A = 18.85 cm^{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 18.85 square centimeters.
