What is a triangle?

'A triangle is a polygon with three sides having three vertices. The angle formed inside the triangle is equal to 180 degrees.'

According to the given problem,

Area of the triangle = (1/2) × 6 × 15

                                 = 45 squared inches

Monica, when calculating the area of the triangle, missed out on multiplying 0.5 to the product of base and height.

Hence, we can conclude, the correct area of the triangle is 45 squared inches.
