Question

What is the area of the triangle below?

Answer 1

`{ \boxed {\orange{ \boxed {\purple{ \bold{area \: of \: triangle = (1)/(2) * b * h }}}}}}`

Height =6 inches

base = 12inches

putting given value into formula ;

`\bold { area \: = (1)/(2) * 6 * 12} \\ \bold{area = (1)/(1) * 3 * 12} \\ \\ \bold{area = 36 \: inch {}^(2) }`

Answer 2

A. 36
`in^(2)`

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of a triangle is
`(1)/(2) bh`, where b is the base and h is the height. Since 12 is the base, and 6 is the height, we can find that the area of the triangle is:

`(1)/(2) (12)(6)\\`

= 36 sq. inches

Hope that helped! :)
