Question

What is the area of a triangle that has a base of 6 feet and a height of 8 feet? Remember to use units!

Answer 1

A = 24 ft²

Explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` × base × height

here base = 6 ft and height = 8 feet

substitute these values into the formula for A

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 6 × 8 = 3 × 8 = 24 ft²
