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.
