Th formula for the area of the triangle is as follows.


A=(bh)/(2)

where b is the base of the triangle and h is its height.

Substitute the given values into the formula and then simplify.


\begin{gathered} A=((6)(10))/(2) \\ =(60)/(2) \\ =30 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 30 square feet, which is option B.
