Group of answer choices
18 feet2
144 feet2
36 feet2
324 feet2
The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Plugging in the values given:
Area = (1/2) * 9 feet * 4 feet
Area = (1/2) * 36 feet
Area = 18 feet^2
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 18 feet^2.
The correct answer is: 18 feet2
