A triangle has a base of 4 inches and a height of 6 inches.

What is the area of the triangle?

a. 10 in2

b. 12 in2

c. 20 in2

d. 24 in2

12

Step-by-step explanation:

With triangles you do the height and base (multiply), then divided by two

The answer to your question is the letter b. 12 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

base = 4 in

height = 6 in

Formula

Area = 1/2 base x height

To solve this problem substitute the values in the formula and simplify.

Substitution

Area = 1/2 (4 in) (6 in)

Simplification

Area = 1/2 (24in²)

Result

Area = 12 in²
