Question

What is the area of this triangle? ina h = 12 in. 1 ]. b = 3 in.

Answer 1

$\text{Area = 18 inches squared}$

Here, we want to calculate the area of the given triangle

To get this, we are going to use the area of the triangle formula

Mathematically, the area A of a triangle can be calculated using the formula below;

$A\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}\times\text{ base }\times\text{ height}$

where the base = 3 inches and the height = 12 inches

We have the area calculated by substititing these values into the formula

This is;

$\begin{gathered} A=\text{ }\frac{1}{2}\times\text{ 12 in }\times\text{ 3 in} \\ \\ A=18\text{ square inches} \end{gathered}$
