Question

What is the area of the triangle below?

Answer 1

Answer:

A.   36 $in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the area of a triangle is $\frac{1}{2} bh$, where b is the base and h is the height. Since 12 is the base, and 6 is the height, we can find that the area of the triangle is:

$\frac{1}{2} (12)(6)$

= 36 sq. inches

Hope that helped! :)

Answer 2

${ \boxed {\orange{ \boxed {\purple{ \bold{area \: of \: triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h }}}}}}$

Height =6 inches

base = 12inches

putting given value into formula ;

$\bold { area \: = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 12} \\ \bold{area = \frac{1}{1} \times 3 \times 12} \\ \\ \bold{area = 36 \: inch {}^{2} }$
