Do you mean altitude as hieght?
If so, the equation would be: A = b x h x 1/2
A = 15 x 12 x 1/2
The answer would be 90.
I may be a little rusty, but I think this is right.

Answer:

The area of triangle is 90 m²

Explanation:

We are given a triangle whose base is 15 m and altitude is 12 m.

We need to find the area of triangle.

Formula:


\text{Area of triangle }=(1)/(2)* \text{base}* \text{ altitude}

where. base = 15 m

Altitude = 12 m

Put the value of base and altitude into formula.


A=(1)/(2)* 15* 12

A = 90 m²

Hence, The area of triangle is 90 m²
