what is the area of the triangle shown if the height measures 6 inches and the length equals 20 inches?

1 answer

To find the area of a triangle, we use the formula:

Area = 1/2 x Base x Height

We are given the height (h) as 6 inches and the length (b) as 20 inches.

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Area = 1/2 x 20 inches x 6 inches
Area = 60 square inches

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 60 square inches.
