Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a triangle with a base of 20 inches and a perpendicular height of 6 inches. The height is a dashed line from the top vertex to the base, splitting the triangle in half, thus forming two triangles. A right angle symbol is shown where the dashed line meets the base, on the right side.

What is the area of the triangle shown?

Area = 1/2 × base × height = 1/2 × 20 × 6 = 60 square inches.

So: 60 square inches.
