Farah cuts a sheet of paper into the shape of a triangle. The triangle has a height of 6inch and a base of 7inch. What is the area of the triangle in square inches.

Answer 1

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

Area = (base * height) / 2

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

Area = (7 * 6) / 2
Area = 42 / 2
Area = 21 square inches

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 21 square inches.
