Answer:
48in
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle like this is like half of a rectangle. The rest fits in the upper left and right. So to find the area of the triangle, we're going to start be pretending it's a recrangle.
Our rectangle is 12 by 8.
12 x 8 = 96
If this were a rectangle, the area would be 96in.
Since it's a triangle and that's only half of a rectangle, the area is half of that.
96 / 2 = 48
The area of this triangle is 48in.
