\text{Area = 18 inches squared}

Here, we want to calculate the area of the given triangle

To get this, we are going to use the area of the triangle formula

Mathematically, the area A of a triangle can be calculated using the formula below;


A\text{ = }(1)/(2)*\text{ base }*\text{ height}

where the base = 3 inches and the height = 12 inches

We have the area calculated by substititing these values into the formula

This is;


\begin{gathered} A=\text{ }(1)/(2)*\text{ 12 in }*\text{ 3 in} \\ \\ A=18\text{ square inches} \end{gathered}
