An illustration shows a right triangle with a base labeled as 6 inches and the height labeled as 24 inches.
Find the area of the right triangle in square inches.
The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 * base * height.
Plugging in the given values, we have:
A = 1/2 * 6 inches * 24 inches
A = 3 inches * 24 inches
A = 72 square inches
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 72 square inches.
