The area \( A \) of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
For your triangle, the base is 4 inches and the height is 6 inches. Plugging in these values:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \, \text{in} \times 6 \, \text{in}
\]
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 24 \, \text{in}^2
\]
\[
A = 12 \, \text{in}^2
\]
So the area of the triangle is **12 in²**.
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
For your triangle, the base is 4 inches and the height is 6 inches. Plugging in these values:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \, \text{in} \times 6 \, \text{in}
\]
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 24 \, \text{in}^2
\]
\[
A = 12 \, \text{in}^2
\]
So the area of the triangle is **12 in²**.
