The formula for the area of any triangle is as followed:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<u>Let Statements:</u>
Let the variable...
→ represent the length of the base of the triangle
→ represent the length of the height of the triangle
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the information provided from the question, we can substitute its values in place of the variables and solve for the last remaining variable:
Distribute the parenthesis<em> (The Distributive Property) </em>:
Reduce the fraction to lowest terms:
Add -6 to both sides of the equation:
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Answer to this Problem is:
