Question

The base length of a triangle is 12 feet and the height is 6 feet. What is the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

The formula to find the area of a triangle is:

$\sf~A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh$

Plug in what we know:

$\sf~A=\dfrac{1}{2}(12)(6)$

Multiply:

$\sf~A=\boxed{\sf36}$

Answer 2

The area of a triangle is calculated by 1/2bh
$\frac{1}{2}(6)(12)$=36 sq ft
