Question

The area of the triangle is less than 18 square inches. Select an inequality that represents a

Answer 1

(1/2)(6)(a) < 18

Explanation:

We know the formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 b x h

The base is 6in and the height is a, so the equation is 1/2 6 x a.

The area is less than 18 sq in, so 1/2 x 6 x a < 18

Now, let's solve the inequality.

1/2 6 x a < 18

3 x a < 18

a < 6

Hope this helps :)
