A formula for finding A, the area of a triangle is A=1/2bh, where b is the base of the triangle and h is the altitude to that base. In this triangle, if b=16 inches and h=6 inches, what is the area of this triangle?

Answer:
48 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Area is:
A = 1/2bh
slot in the values of the base and height
A = 1/2 (16 * 6)
A = 1/2 (96)
A = 48 square inches
