A triangle has a height of 6 inches and a base of 7inches. What is the area of the triangle in square inches?

1 answer

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:

Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Given that the height is 6 inches and the base is 7 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Area = 1/2 * 7 inches * 6 inches

Area = 42 square inches.

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 42 square inches.
