A child is using sidewalk chalk to draw a triangular-shaped area for a game. If the height of the area is twice the base, and the base is 6 feet, wat is the area of the game?

I know b=6 & h=2 x base (2x6)..I need help please

clearly the height is 12, so the area is

1/2 * 6 * 12 = 36

To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:

Area = (base * height) / 2

In this case, you have the base (b) as 6 feet, and the height (h) as twice the base, which means h = 2 * 6 = 12 feet.

Now, plug these values into the formula to calculate the area:

Area = (6 * 12) / 2

Multiply the base and height:

Area = 72 / 2

Divide the result by 2:

Area = 36 square feet

Therefore, the area of the triangular-shaped game is 36 square feet.
