Given :
The area of a triangle is found using the formula bh/2, where b is the base and h is the height. What is the area in square inches of a triangle with a height of 6 inches and a base of 8 inches?
Solution :
Given Data :
Height = 6 inches
Base = 8 inches
Formula for Area of traingle is :
[tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \star \: \: \: \red{ \underline{ \red{ \overline{ \orange{ \boxed{ \pink{\frak{Area \: of \: Triangle = \frac{1}{2} × Base × Height }}}}}}}}[/tex]
So, putting the values of Base and Height we get
[tex] \leadsto \frak{Area = \frac{1}{2} × 8 \times 6 }[/tex]
[tex] \leadsto \frak{Area = \frac{1}{ \cancel2} × \cancel 8 \times 6 }[/tex]
[tex] \leadsto \frak{Area = 4 \times 6 }[/tex]
[tex] \leadsto \frak{Area = 24 \: {in}^{2} }[/tex]
Hence, the area of the traingle is 24 inches²
