The formula for the area of a triangle of base b and altitude h is A = (1/2)(b)(h).
Here, b = 18 cm and h = 9 cm. Thus, the desired area is:
(18 cm)(9 cm)
A = ----------------------- = 81 cm^2

This problem gives you more info than is needed to solve it. The area of the given triangle is 81 cm^2.
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
8x -6 = 18
Add 6 to both sides.
8x = 24
Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x.
x = 3
