Question

A formula for finding A, the area of a triangle is A=1/2bh, where b is the base of the triangle and h is the altitude to that base. In this triangle, if b=16 inches, and h=6 inches, what is the area of this triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

48 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute b = 16 and h = 6 into the formula for A

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 16 × 6 = 8 × 6 = 48 inches²
