Question

Find the area of the triangle.
Area
9 in.
6 in.
=
[?] in.²

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \]

Given that the base is \( 9 \) inches and the height is \( 6 \) inches, you can plug these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \, \text{in} \times 6 \, \text{in} \]

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 54 \, \text{in}^2 \]

\[ \text{Area} = 27 \, \text{in}^2 \]

So, the area of the triangle is \( 27 \, \text{in}^2 \).

Answer 2

Answer:

$\textsf{Area} = 27 \, \textsf{in}^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, we can use the formula:

$\Large \boxed{\boxed{\textsf{Area} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \textsf{Base} \times \textsf{Height} }}$

Given the values:

• Base = 6 inches
• Height = 9 inches

Substitute these values into the formula:

$\textsf{Area} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 6 \, \textsf{in} \times 9 \, \textsf{in}$

$\textsf{Area} = 3 \, \textsf{in} \times 9 \, \textsf{in}$

$\textsf{Area} = 27 \, \textsf{in}^2$

So, the area of the triangle is $27 \, \textsf{in}^2$.
