Find the area of the right triangle in square inches .
__ square inches

Answer 1

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

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

In your case, the base is 24 inches and the height is 6 inches. Plugging these values into the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 24 \times 6
\]

Calculating this:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 144 = 72
\]

So, the area of the right triangle is **72 square inches**.
