To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
In your case, you mentioned that the triangle has a width of 6 inches on the bottom side. Let's consider that as the base. However, it seems like you also mentioned a length of 24 inches, which might be the height of the triangle.
Using the base as 6 inches and the height as 24 inches, the area can be calculated as follows:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \, \text{in} \times 24 \, \text{in}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 24 = \frac{1}{2} \times 144 = 72 \, \text{square inches}
\]
Therefore, the area of the triangle is \( 72 \) square inches.
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
