Compute the area of a triangle with a 5-inch height and a 6-inch width

Answer provided by our tutors

if by 6-inch width you mean that the base of the triangle is 6 inches then by the formula for area of triangle


area = 1/2 (base* height)


we have


area = 5*6/2 = 30/2 = 15 in^2


the area of the triangle is 15 inches squared.
