Find the area of a triangle who's base is 8in.and height is 12in

Answer 1

The area \( A \) of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:

\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \]

In this case, the base is 8 inches and the height is 12 inches. Plugging these values into the formula:

\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 , \text{in} \times 12 , \text{in} \]

Calculating the area:

\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 96 , \text{in}^2 = 48 , \text{in}^2 \]

Thus, the area of the triangle is \( 48 , \text{in}^2 \).
