Answer 1

To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:

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

In this case, the base (width) is 20 inches, and the height is 6 inches. Plugging in these values:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 6
\]
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 120
\]
\[
\text{Area} = 60 \text{ square inches}
\]

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