Answer:
area of triangle ABC = area of triangle ABE + area of triangle CBE
area of triangle ABC = (y × h)/2 + (x × h)/2
area of triangle ABC = (y × h + x × h)/2
area of triangle ABC = h ×(y + x)/2
Notice that y + x is the length of the base of triangle ABC.
Thus, it is ok to say that y + x = b
Therefore, area of triangle ABC = (h × b)/2
