\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{The\ formula\ is: A=(1)/(2)(b)(h)}


\mathsf{A=area}\\\mathsf{b= base}\\\mathsf{h=height}


\mathsf{8(1)/(2)=8*2+1=16+1=17}


\mathsf{17\ is\ your\ numerator}


\mathsf{2\ is\ your\ denominator}


\mathsf{(17)/(2)=17/2=8.5}


\mathsf{Your\ new\ equation: (1)/(2)(8.5)(6)}


\mathsf{(1)/(2)(8.5)(6)}\\\\\\\mathsf{(1)/(2)(8.5)=4.25}\\\\\\\mathsf{4.25(6)=25.5}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{Thus,\ your\ answer\ is: \boxed{25.5\ or\ you\ can\ say\ (51)/(2)}}}}}\checkmark
