Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a triangle with a base of 20 inches and a perpendicular height of 6 inches. The height is a dashed line from the top vertex to the base, splitting the triangle in half, thus forming two triangles. A right angle symbol is shown where the dashed line meets the base, on the right side.

To find the area of a triangle, we use the formula A = (1/2)bh, where A is the area, b is the length of the base, and h is the height of the triangle. In this case, the base is 20 inches and the height is 6 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we get A = (1/2)(20)(6) = 60 square inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 60 square inches.
