Question

A triangle has a base that is 19 inches long, and a height of 12 inches. What is the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

`144`
`inches^2`

Explanation:

Hey there!

In order to find the area of a triangle, you need to:

Multplipy the base by the height

Then you take that product and multiply it by 1/2 (basically divide it by 2)

Then you get your area!

Base: 19

Height: 12

19 x 12

228

228 x 1/2

228/2

114

So the area of this triangle is
`144`
`inches^2`
