Question

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 18 inches and a height of 8 inches?

Answer 1

Answer:

Area = 72 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area A of a triangle is: A = (1/2)bh, where b is the length of the side of the triangle serving as the base or the "bottom" of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle or the perpendicular distance from the base to the vertex opposite the base. Since we're already given the length of the base and the height of the triangle, we simply substitute the given values into the formula and then perform the necessary arithmetic operations as follows:

A = (1/2)bh

= (1/2)(8 inches)(6 inches)

= (1/2)(48 sq. in.)

A = 24 sq. in. is the area of the given triangle

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:since area of rectangle = 18×8 = 144cm^2 according to question, 144 = (b×h)/2. { area ...
