To find the area of a right triangle, you use the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
In this case, the base is the width of the triangle, which is 6 inches, and the height is the length of the triangle, which is 24 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Area = 1/2 * 6 * 24
Area = 1/2 * 144
Area = 72 square inches
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 72 square inches.
Area = 1/2 * base * height
In this case, the base is the width of the triangle, which is 6 inches, and the height is the length of the triangle, which is 24 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Area = 1/2 * 6 * 24
Area = 1/2 * 144
Area = 72 square inches
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 72 square inches.
