Verified Answer :

The answer should be B since p represents the base of the triangle and r as the height

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Answer:

B) 1/2 pr

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle is given by:

\(A = \frac{1}{2} \text { Base }\times \text { Height }\)

In the given figure, the base of the triangle is from (0,0) to (p,0) = \(\sqrt{(p-0)^2+(0-0)^2}= p\)

The height of the triangle is from (0,0) to (0,r) =  \(\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(r-0)^2}= r\)

\(\Rightarrow A = \frac{1}{2}p r\)

Thus, the area of the given triangle is \(\frac{1}{2}p r\). Option B is correct.
