In order to calculate the area, we can use the formula for the triangle area:


A=(b\cdot h)/(2)

Where b is the base length and h is the height relative to this base.

So, for b = 6 and h = n, we have:


\begin{gathered} A=(6\cdot n)/(2) \\ A=3n \end{gathered}

Therefore the correct option is the second one.
