base 7

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Since the base and height of the triangle are both 7 units, we can decompose the triangle into two right-angled triangles with base and height both equal to 7 units.

Therefore, the area of the triangle is (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 7 x 7 = 24.5 square units.
