Answer:
Multiplication
Step-by-step explanation:
P = Parentheses
E = Exponents
M/D = Multiplication/Division
A/S = Addition/Subtraction
If you have both multiplication/division or addition/subtraction left, ALWAYS work left to right.
Since there are no parentheses or exponents you do the multiplication first

Answer:
12 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is given by the formula ...
A = 1/2bh
Here, the base is 6 inches and the height is given as 4 inches. Then the area is ...
A = (1/2)(6 in)(4 in) = 12 in²
The area of the triangle is 12 square inches.

<em>Comment on the problem</em>
Since you are given the base and height, we presume you are intended to use the formula above. You are also given all three side lengths. If you use the appropriate formula with those, you find the area is about 15.6 square inches. (The height of this triangle is actually closer to 5.2 inches.)
The figure represents a geometry that cannot exist. With the given base and height, the side lengths should be 5, not 6.
My solution to the problem is as follows:
EC = 15 ... draw CF = 6 (radius) ...use Pythagorean theorem to find EF.
EF^2 + CF^2 = EC^2
EF^2 = 15^2 - 6^2 = 189 .... EF = sq root 189
triangle GDE is similar to CFE ... thus proportional
GD / ED = CF / EF
GD / 18 = 6 / (sq root 189)
<span>GD = 108 / (sq root 189)
I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
