36 in.^2
Let's find the area of the given triangle. The area of a triangle is one-half the product of its base and its height.
In the given triangle, we can see that the base is 12 inches and that the height is 6 inches. We can substitute these two values into the formula for the area of a triangle and simplify. Let's do it!
b= 12, h= 6
Multiply
1/b* a = a/b
Calculate quotient
The area of the triangle is 36 square inches.
