Answer 1

The area of a triangle is given by the following formula:

`A=(b* h)/(2)`

Where b is the length of the base and h is the height of the triangle.

In this case, the length of the base equals 8 inches and the height of the triangle equals 3 inches, by replacing 8 for b and 3 for h, we get:

`A=(8*3)/(2)=(24)/(2)=12`

Then, the area of this triangle equals 12 square inches.
