The area of a triangle is:

A=bh/2, b=base length and h=height, we are told that b=12 and h=6 so

A=(12*6)/2 in^2

A=36 in^2

The answer is C. 32 inches squared

How to Solve:

Multiply 12 by 6 and then divide it by 2

12 multiplied by 6 equals 72
72 divided by 2 equals 36 therefore the answer is 36 inches squared.
