Answer:

Answer:The area of the triangle is 60 in.

Because we have 6inches in the weigth and 5inches in the height .

  • A=1/2bh
  • A=1/2x 5 x 6
  • A=30
  • A=1/2 ÷30
  • A=60in

To find the area of a triangle, we use the formula:

Area = 1/2(base * height)

From the problem, we know that the base of the triangle is 6 inches and the height is 5 inches.

Substitute these values into the formula:

Area = 1/2(6 inches * 5 inches)

Area = 1/2 * 30 square inches

After performing the multiplication, our final area is 15 square inches.

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 15.0 square inches.
