Triangle has a base of 20 inches and 6 inches on each side what is the area of the triangle
The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height.
Since the triangle has a base of 20 inches and each side is 6 inches, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the triangle.
Let the height of the triangle be h. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find h:
h^2 = 6^2 - 3^2
h^2 = 36 - 9
h^2 = 27
h = √27
Now we can calculate the area of the triangle:
Area = 1/2 * 20 * √27
Area ≈ 1/2 * 20 * 5.196
Area ≈ 51.96 square inches
Therefore, the area of the triangle is approximately 51.96 square inches.
