Answer 1

Answer:

Area of triangle is 12 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given that:

The legs of a right triangle measure 4 and 6 inches.

(i.e. height and base of right angled triangle)

We have to find the area of this triangle.

area of triangle=$\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

                        =$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times 6$

                       = 12 in.²

Hence, Area of triangle is 12 in.²

Answer 2

Area of a right triangle = .5 * leg1 * leg2
Area = .5* 24
Area = 12 square inches
