The area of triangle when base = 6 inches and height = 5 inches is 15 square inches
Solution:
Given that a triangle has base = 6 inches and height = 5 inches
To find: Area of triangle
To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2.
The area of traingle when base and height are given as:
[tex]\text { area of traingle }=\frac{1}{2} \times \text { base } \times \text { height }[/tex]
Substituting the values in formula, we obtain the area of triangle
[tex]\text { area of traingle }=\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 5[/tex]
[tex]=3 \times 5=15[/tex]
Thus the area of triangle is 15 square inches
