Answer:

72 inches

Explanation:

Because we are finding the area of this triangle, we have to use this formula. A (area)= 1/2 × b (base) × h (height).

First, multiply 12 by 12.

12x12=144

Now, for the final step, because this shape is a triangle, we have to divide by 2.

144/2=

72

The area of this figure would be 72 inches.

Hope this helps!~
