Compute the area of the triangle. (Express answer in cm2)
h = 6 cm
b = 12 cm
a = How many cm2?
A = (b/2)h.
A = (12 / 2) 6 = 36cm^2.
To compute the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:
Area = (base * height) / 2
Given that the height (h) is 6 cm and the base (b) is 12 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula to find the area (a):
Area = (12 cm * 6 cm) / 2
Area = 72 cm2 / 2
Area = 36 cm2
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 36 cm2.
