find the area of this right triangle one side is 24in the other side is 6in.find the area of this right triangle
To find the area of a right triangle, you can use the formula:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
In this case, the base is one of the sides, which is 24 inches, and the height is the other side, which is 6 inches. Plug these values into the formula:
Area = 0.5 * 24 * 6
Area = 0.5 * 144
Area = 72 square inches
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 72 square inches.
