FIND THE AREA OF A TRIANGLE IF THE BASE (b) IS 9 INCHES AND THE HEIGHT (h) IS = 12 INCHES???

A = bh/2

A = (9 * 12)/2
A = ?

Right. 54 square inches

To find the area of a triangle when the base and height are given, you can use the formula:

Area = (base * height) / 2

In this case, the base (b) is 9 inches and the height (h) is 12 inches. Now let's substitute these values into the formula:

Area = (9 * 12) / 2

Multiplying 9 and 12:

Area = 108 / 2

Dividing 108 by 2:

Area = 54 square inches

So, the area of the triangle with a base of 9 inches and a height of 12 inches is 54 square inches.
