Question

calculate the area of the right triangle. Each figure is not drawn to scale

10 in.
6 in.
8 in.
also please explain it! This will really mean a lot to me

Answer 1

Answer:

A - 24 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

here b = 8 and h = 6 , then

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 8 × 6 = 4 × 6 = 24 in²

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf 24 \ in.^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Base of the triangle = b = 8 in.

Height of the triangle = h = 6 in.

Area of the triangle:

$\displaystyle =\frac{bh}{2} \\\\= \frac{(8)(6)}{2} \\\\= (4)(6)\\\\= 24 \ in.^2\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$
