Farah cuts a sheet of paper into the shape of a triangle. The triangle has a height of 6 inches and a base of 7 inches. What is the area of the triangle in square inches?
The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 * base * height.
Plugging in the values for base and height:
A = 1/2 * 7 inches * 6 inches
A = 1/2 * 42
A = 21 square inches
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 21 square inches.
