se 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?
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
Area = (base x height) / 2
In this case, the base is 20 inches and the height is 6 inches.
Area = (20 x 6) / 2
Area = 120 / 2
Area = 60 square inches
Therefore, the area of the triangle shown is 60 square inches.
