Question

Find the area of the triangle below. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

When given the base of and height of a triangle, you can use this formula:

`area = (1)/(2) bh`

Plug in the known values:

`area = (1)/(2) (18)(6)`

Solve:

`area = (1)/(2) * 108`

`area = 54`

Add units:

`area = 54cm^(2)`
