what is the area of a right triangle 6 centimeters high with a base of 8 centimeters?
The area of a right triangle can be calculated using the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
In this case, the base is 8 centimeters and the height is 6 centimeters.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Area = 1/2 * 8 * 6
Area = 1/2 * 48
Area = 24 square centimeters
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 24 square centimeters.
